Statement of Significance

This avenue of trees is located on either side of the main road into Drouin township, between Longwarry and Albert Roads. The planting occured in 1936 as part of Arbor Day celebrations and several replacement plantings have occurred to replace those trees removed. The trees are outstanding during February-March when in flower and there is considerable colour variation.
