The Arboretum in Ottawa.

A July 20, 1946 article from the Ottawa Journal.

"The Arboretum near Dow's Lake covers an area of approximately 14.3 hectares (35.33 acres). The area is part of the Greenway System Corridor and includes several woodland areas, two watercourses referred to as Rideau Canal Tributaries, a wetland near the Canal and several gardens including the Fletcher Wildlife Garden." (City of Ottawa Department of Urban Planning and Public Works, June 14, 1999.)

"Located on 64 acres of rolling land between Prince of Wales Drive and the historical Rideau Canal system, the arboretum was developed to test the hardiness of woody plants in the Canadian climate." more (From: The Dominion Arboretum at the Central Experimental Farm-Gardens Ottawa.)

The Arboretum is now 7 acres.
