The Ottawa Botanical Garden Society was incorporated with the express purpose of re-establishing a botanic garden at The Central Experimental Farm. The society plans to integrate the existing arboretum/botanic garden and ornamental gardens with a number of new features and attractions, education and interpretive programs, as well as visitor and service facilities and create an economically sustainable botanic garden.
As part of this overall planning, the conservation and maintenance of heritage resources were identified as important considerations. Commonwealth prepared an analysis of the VISION Statement and a Conservation Management Strategy to provide guidance for future management, interpretation of cultural features, and direction for the integration of new development. The focus of the report includes:

~ Assessment of conservation context in various elements of the Ottawa
Botanical Garden Society's VISION
Statement

~ Assurement of sensitive integration in new
development

~ Ongoing stewardship guidelines for the
Ottawa Botanical Garden Society
