NEW TOUR: Ottawa’s Central Experimental Farm is a world-renowned scientific landscape. Founded in 1886, the Farm developed, tested and promoted critical agricultural knowledge that propelled the growth of Canada's economy. The tour will explore the history of the site with an emphasis on its scientific value – past and present – for food production, soil health and addressing climate change.
GUIDES: Dr. Malcolm Morrison is an Oilseed Physiologist with Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada. His deep interest in the history of research at the CEF is enriched by his childhood growing up on the Morden Research Station in Manitoba. John Zvonar is a Landscape Architect who has dedicated his career to the discipline of Heritage Conservation and, namely, the understanding and management of Cultural Landscapes. He is a board member of Heritage Ottawa and long-time advocate and expert on the protection of the Farm’s cultural landscape.
