The Farm from a busy, neighbouring thoroughfare. He works with volunteers, the
public and politicians at all three levels of government to protect and enhance The
Farm.

a permanent cultural and ecological landscape on the grounds of the Experimental
Farm. Everyone is welcome and invited to attend the annual meeting and lecture.
