WOODLAND WALK AND BIRD HABITAT

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

TThe busy southwest corner of Lawrence Avenue and Leslie Street is being transformed into an urban forest. Upon completion, this area, which covers more than 23,000 square feet, will become one of the largest gardens on the TBG’s four-acre site.

TBG’s new Woodland Walk and Bird Habitat will have multiple objectives: to significantly improve air quality through the planting of a wealth of trees, shrubs, perennials and groundcovers; to monitor the positive effect of these plantings on the surrounding environment when they are planted and as they grow to maturity; to educate and inspire young and old on the environmental benefits of mindful gardening, showing them by example, as well as didactic materials and audio-and-live tours, how to create bird and pollinator-friendly, sustainable home gardens that help fight air pollution; and to provide habitat for migrating songbirds, whose populations are declining at an alarming rate.

Toronto Botanical Garden is grateful for the generous support of Live Green Toronto of the Woodland Walk and Bird Habitat.

Live Green Toronto is a five-year program to promote and support neighbourhood-based actions to green Toronto. Live Green Toronto's expertise, funding and one-stop website full of resources, rebates and tips, will help turn great green ideas into actions that reduce emissions, protect our climate and clean our air.
