Our Mission

Protecting Local Wildlife

From songbirds to deer, our urban wilderness supports incredible biodiversity that we work to protect through advocacy and action.

Green roofs and native plantings create habitat corridors that connect our ravines and parks, allowing wildlife to thrive in the urban landscape. We advocate for development policies that protect these vital connections.

Through tree walks, wildlife monitoring, and partnerships with Toronto Environmental Alliance, we're building awareness and pushing for policies that prioritize biodiversity. Our repair cafes also reduce waste that threatens wildlife habitat.
