The 1950s paving of Groat Ravine for car-centric development set a precedent. A 1960s plan to pave MacKinnon Ravine sparked intense civic conflict. Citizens fought to prioritize parkland over freeways, saving MacKinnon Ravine in 1984. https://t.co/12vcZLqn0d

Costa Rica, once home to rampant logging, has now almost doubled the size of its rainforest. They turned it all around within a generation. It can be done.

Naturalizing field in Queen Elizabeth Park, full of butterflies and bees feasting on vetch. Hopefully city council will vote on July 2 to keep it natural.

Forest in Queen Elizabeth Park repurposed for a mountain bike park? Hope not. Today it’s full of red eyed vireo and yellow warblers.
