About Our Stewardship Program

For those of us who care about the environment and the survival of creatures of all kinds, finding a way to actually do something to help them survive, enhances our own lives and will be a legacy to be proud of. Volunteer Stewards have been working with the City of Toronto since 1996, to protect and restore the remaining natural areas of High Park including large areas of Savannah with Black Oak trees and related flora and fauna. During the spring, summer and fall we plant, collect seeds, and remove invasive species from restoration sites. 

Registration on the City's volunteer platform for sessions is required. See Details 2023.

There are many galleries to visit on this site on plants and wildlife as well as information on invasive species and native plant gardening. Our Blog has many items of interest as well and a 2021 Year in Review.

We urge you to also join Other Groups and use the On Demand Learning Recordings.
