The first area being planted is along Merivale Road from Baseline north toward the existing recreational path (see diagram).
Trees such as Colorado spruce, green ash, maple and walnut will be planted together with shrubs such as lilac, honeysuckle and serviceberry.
The shelterbelt will beautify the surroundings and mark the edge of the heritage landscape of the Farm.

A new recreational path weaves through the beds of trees and shrubs and offers a beautiful start or finish to a walking tour of the Farm.
