As I mentioned before, the Greenbelt Research Farm is an annex of the Carling Avenue Experimental Farm. It is located at 1740 Woodroffe Avenue and encompassed 4,500 acres during the 1950's. 

Group Discussion Asset: The Greenbelt's greatest asset is that it is there. Threat: Urbanization is the greatest long-term threat. The focus should be turned away from threats and more towards this land being a national treasure. (Page 24/107)

The 50,000 acres are protected by Federal Order in Council 5635, created on August 15, 1945 (The Master Plan for the National Capital by Jacques Greber, 1950. page 15/395.) And by the designation National Interest Land Mass.
