Welcome Back Hort Members!
To kick-off the fall season, we welcome TISHA TAN from the TRCA (Toronto and Region Conservation Authority) who will be sharing a wonderful project in the east end of Toronto - THE MEADOWAY:
Discover one of the most exciting greenspace revitalization projects in Canada and how you can get involved in creating it with us! Located right here in the GTA, TRCA and our partners are working to restore an existing portion of the Gatineau hydro corridor into a flourishing natural meadow and community greenspace. Encompassing over 200 hectares and spanning 16 kilometers, The Meadoway spans the East Don Trail gateway and Rouge National Urban Park, connecting fragmented greenspaces and communities across Toronto via an ecologically sustainable and active transportation network. In this talk, we’ll explain why The Meadoway matters, share key lessons learned, and reveal how the project enhances the landscape for people, plants, and animals.
