  • 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.

  • November 1983
    TORONTO FIELD NATURALIST Number 359, November 1983 A summer and a winter joy See page 4 TFN 359 President's Report Congratulations to our members on the new Toronto Region Bird Chart. I hope· everyone will feel free to phone in confirmation and additional facts so that information is kept up to date and becomes continuously more accurate. The same comment applies to the amphibian and reptile booklet. We need current infor­ ~ation on ALL metro sightings, not just the unusual ones. Information like how many, what sex, and what are they doing is all useful. Bruce Parker for birds (evenings 449-0994), and Bob Johnston for reptiles and amphibians (day·a 2g4...g1g1), will be glad to receive materia.l. The P\ll'}'>ose of these two booklets is to provide the beginnings of two worthwhile projects and to encourage our members to take pa.rt in them. They are intended to be the opposite of intimidatingi The Junior Club is reorganizing for a new yea:r under the direction of a new acting chairman, Ale.xanier Cappell. We need people who like children to leod. them to where they can find out about nature--to have an adventure together. It is not necessary to have knowledge of a nature subject but only to want to explore it with the children and have fun on the way. The new room for our monthly meetings fits the group almost perfectly. The friendly atmosphere was enjoyed by all who commented. The proposed by~law and constitution changes were approved in principle and copies will be available in January.
