  • The Toronto Ravines Study: 1977-2017 Long-Term Changes in the Biodiversity and Ecological Integrity of Toronto’S Ravines
    The Toronto Ravines Study: 1977-2017 Long-term Changes in the Biodiversity and Ecological Integrity of Toronto’s Ravines Eric Davies, Anqi Dong, Catherine Berka, Paul Scrivener, Dale Taylor, Sandy M Smith Faculty of Forestry, University of Toronto - July 2018 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This report would not have come into being without the work of the many individuals who dedicated endless volunteer hours to its realization. Our thanks to: The originators of the 1977 study, our co-authors Paul Scrivener and Dale Taylor, for sticking with the project over the past 40 years, and for getting it going again. Dale and Paul provided the team with a real-life example of ‘citizen science’ in action, and a generational timeline to the past. They made this project an adventure for all of us. Good stewardship of the land is a lifelong affair, and Dale and Paul have exemplified that commitment beyond all expectations. Esther McNeil for walking into the University of Toronto, Faculty of Forestry six years ago and asking: “How can I help save the Toronto ravines?” Esther inspired us to start working in the Toronto ravines, which ultimately led to this project, this report, and a renewed interest in ravine conservation. Catherine Berka for jumping with two feet into this project from day one, and for providing an endless source of positivity, leadership, humour, community outreach, and every day hard work. The project would simply not be what it is today without the heart and soul of our other co-author, Catherine. This project has benefited tremendously from the expertise, cooperation, and guidance of many people, especially in The City of Toronto, the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority, local nature groups, and countless citizens.

  • Ravine Strategy
    TORONTO RAVINE STRATEGY EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Toronto’s astounding network of ravines is among the largest in the world. It is the heart and soul of a remarkable natural environment system that spills out of the river valleys into the city’s parks, neighbourhoods and urban landscape. Ravines connect the Oak Ridges moraine north of Toronto to the shores of Lake Ontario, carrying water, wildlife and people through Ontario’s most densely urbanized area. They also connect us with the city’s rich history and Indigenous heritage. Once seen as the biggest challenge to Toronto’s growth, these corridors of “disordered nature” are now treasured as one of its greatest assets. Cutting across the whole city, Toronto’s ravines intersect with a diverse array of cultures and communities. Rich in natural character and biodiversity, they provide many ecological benefits and are for many a cherished escape from the fast pace of urban life. With population growth, new development and climate change putting increased pressures on our ravines, a strategy is critical to navigate the fine line between protection and use and identify and prioritize the actions and investments needed to ensure that everyone can enjoy these extraordinary places for decades to come. At its essence, Toronto’s first Ravine Strategy will help to supporta ravine system that is a natural, connected sanctuary essential for the health and well-being of the city, where use and enjoyment support protection, education and stewardship. Five guiding principles and twenty actions for Toronto’s ravines were developed through extensive consultation with the public, interest groups, staff and key stakeholders.
