WHAT: About 20 years ago, Agriculture Canada and the Friends of the Farm planted the first trees on the site called the Merivale Shelterbelt. It was the beginning of a long-term project to create a windbreak of diverse trees exposed to a challenging urban environment. Today we see the early results of how North American, European, and Asian tree species adapt to environmental extremes at the edge of large fields and beside the busy roadway.
