BY-LAWS FOR BIODIVERSITY 🌱🐝
Over the summer, Toronto Metropolitan University’s City Building released a new article on Professor Nina-Marie Lister @nmlister and the Ecological Design Lab’s success in getting a by-law changed to protect natural biodiversity in Toronto.
We’re excited to share our new postcards created to help gardeners, community advocates, nature lovers, and environmental planners quickly connect with everything that is #BylawsforBiodiversity: https://t.co/LBUBiYE3tK
WE VISITED LA DURING URBAN WILDLIFE WEEK! Here are some highlights! For more on the Safe Passage Project, the Liberty Canyon CoLab and the Wallis Annenberg Wildlife Crossing, visit: https://t.co/LyhTpp70Jx
We're excited to share the final look at our first DIY bird safe window treatment at @TorontoMet ! 🎉🐦This hands-on workshop brought together students, faculty, and staff to raise awareness and take action for urban wildlife. #TMU#Wildlife#ConservationEfforts#MigratoryBirds
NEW @CBCNews article explores the growing popularity of #rewilding and #naturalization in #gardening transforming yards into thriving havens for #biodiversity, featuring EDL postdoctoral fellow Brendon Samuels: https://t.co/u3UcClb2wZ
NEW #BylawsForBiodiversity PUBLICATION! Centered on the Hillcrest Meadow case, this research reveals how municipal bylaws can undermine urban biodiversity efforts by creating policy conflicts that act as barriers to #rewilding and #biodiversityrecovery. https://t.co/ZqRfJeQ2yR
We're excited to welcome Sterling Sztricsko to the team! At the EDL, his work focuses on exploring the role of #urban#greenspaces and #ecological#corridors to better understand how they function and support both people and #wildlife in urban environments. Welcome Sterling!
NEW PUBLICATION! This study explores how an integrated approach can improve landscape connectivity. We developed a dimensions of integration framework that offers valuable insights into the challenges and opportunities of integrated connectivity planning: https://t.co/TzY4ujdQP4
New Publication! We’re excited to share our latest research in the WSB, where we explore the design and development of the #WildlifeCrossing Database Platform — a collaborative tool for improving #landscapeconnectivity across North America. Visit: https://t.co/UP1KCpCFKP
Here are just a few highlight moments so far, sparking dialogue, inspiring leadership, and shaping ideas toward a more connected and #climateresilient future.
The conference’s beautiful visual identity was designed by Lucas Dobbins, a designer at @stosslu and alumnus of WildWays, a research studio at the @HarvardGSD co-taught by Chris Reed and EDL Director Prof. Nina-Marie Lister.
This landmark event brings together a wide range of voices from across Canada. Together, we’re here to share knowledge, foster partnerships, and advance strategies that promote ecological corridors, Indigenous stewardship, and wildlife-friendly infrastructure.
New Studio Report live on our website! In collaboration with @FLAPCanada , this project aims to address bird fatalities caused by collisions with buildings, completed last semester by a group of @TMUsurp students, supervised by Prof. Lister: https://t.co/j8JOiGENk0
#BirdSafeCity
This #WorldWildlifeDay, we're excited to highlight two of our recent projects to inspire and advance #climateaction, #supportwildlife and enhance #biodiversity across urban spaces: the safe passage project, and the bylaws for biodiversity project.
Congratulations Prof. Nina-Marie Lister, who has been named the 2024-25 Bracken Fellow by #PennState’s Department of #LandscapeArchitecture! Join us in celebrating this incredible achievement! Details for the 2025 Stuckeman Research Symposium: https://t.co/g1GepYootj
