As part of Humber Earth Month, join the Humber Arboretum online for this talk by the Toronto Field Naturalists.

Nature is not a frill for any rapidly growing 21st century city. Natural lands buffer our cities against flooding, heat, and air pollution. Learn how natural landscapes can be both preserved and added into Toronto’s development, and how they benefit our environment and wellbeing, in terms of climate change, biodiversity, and physical and mental health. Toronto's remarkable bird biodiversity is also highlighted - Toronto is not just a random spot on the landscape, but a very special place in terms of biodiversity.

Discover how we can preserve, restore, and create more natural spaces, as we showcase both successes like the Brickworks and the Meadoway, and some creative new approaches that Toronto could be exploring.

Ellen Schwartzel of the Toronto Field Naturalists will give the talk: The Toronto Field Naturalists connect people with nature in the Toronto area. They help people understand, enjoy, and protect Toronto’s green spaces and the species that inhabit them. They have been offering guided walks, lectures, stewardship and citizen science initiatives since 1923.

When: Wednesday, March 16, 12:30 p.m. to 1:30 p.m.

Where: Online via Zoom
