Episode 6 | Anna Hoad | Toronto Nature Stewards

Season 1 · Episode 6

Tuesday, January 28, 2025 • Duration 28:18

Restoring Toronto’s natural areas is more urgent than ever, and in this episode, we spotlight the volunteer-powered work of Toronto Nature Stewards as they protect and revitalize one of North America’s largest urban green spaces. Spanning more than 11,000 hectares—an area comparable to the size of Paris—Toronto’s ravines support the well-being of over three million people, safeguard biodiversity, regulate critical water and nutrient cycles, and mitigate flooding and erosion risks. Unfortunately, these vital ecosystems face severe threats from invasive species, climate change, development, and litter.

Join us for an in-depth conversation on how Toronto Nature Stewards combats these challenges by removing harmful plants, planting native species, clearing trash, and raising community awareness about the importance of ecological balance. Discover how hundreds of passionate volunteers unite across 42 sites to nurture healthy, self-sustaining urban habitats for current and future generations. Learn how you, too, can contribute to preserving Toronto’s ravines and embrace an active role in urban conservation. Tune in for a powerful reminder that every individual can make an impact, one natural area at a time.

Episode 1 | Helen Mills | Lost Rivers

Season 1 · Episode 1

Sunday, March 24, 2024 • Duration 20:15

Since Toronto Green Community (TGC) held its very first meeting in 1995, Helen has brought her knowledge, wisdom, ideas, and infectious enthusiasm to the work of the organization. She has served as a board member, and as the creator or co-creator behind the first Seedy Saturday in Toronto, the Eglinton Park Community Garden, the Green Garden Visit, and as the creator and driving force behind the Lost Rivers Project.

Over the last 30 years, Lost Rivers has researched, mapped, and shared local in-depth knowledge of Toronto’s watersheds, lost rivers, our connections with land and water in the city, and ways we can intervene to improve the urban landscape. Through walks and workshops–led by Helen, other Lost Rivers members, and hundreds more volunteers–the Lost Rivers Project has informed and inspired tens of thousands of participants.

Helen has touched many more through her founding role in social enterprises like the Green Garden Visit, Rivers Rising, RAINscapeTO, and other partnerships and collaborations.

Helen was also among the creative minds that imagined a network of green neighbours groups in 2016. Her guiding wisdom has helped make GNN what it is today.

GNN is so very pleased to make a donation to Lost Rivers Walks in Helen’s honour.
