We are a dedicated group of volunteers working to restore, monitor and preserve the biodiversity of the Betty Sutherland Trail ravine through the Toronto Nature Stewards program. Our specific TNS Site Page can be found here which includes contact information.

Land Acknowledgement
Toronto, also known as Tkaronto prior to colonization, is a place traditionally inhabited by the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation, the Haudenosaunee, Anishinabek, and Huron-Wendat Nations. The Dish With One Spoon is a treaty signed by the Anishinaabe, Mississaugas and Haudenosaunee that bound them to share the resources of this territory and protect the land with many other nations. The land that the Betty Sutherland Trail Park is situated on is part of Treaty 13. We are committed to learning more and reflecting on our actions to further take responsibility as we are all treaty people. By recognizing this history, we acknowledge that we are not the first to steward this land. We also recognize the ongoing presence of all of these nations.
For those interested in learning more, here is a great place to start.
