On this , we are featuring a wetland restoration project at the Bolton Resource Management Tract in the Town of Caledon. This former agricultural pond was transformed into a thriving vernal pool through the replacement of a failed water control structure with a new spillway. Shortly after restoration, native aquatic plant species such as water plantain and tape grass appeared and this site became home to various amphibians and feathered friends.

Why it matters:
🐸 Creates breeding habitat for amphibians and other wildlife
💧 Improves water quality and helps reduce flooding
🌱 Restores natural wetland functions and strengthens ecosystem resilience

Healthy wetlands support healthy watersheds—and every restoration project helps build a more sustainable future.

Thank you to everyone who joined us at Tommy Thompson Park for a day of discovery, learning, and celebrating the incredible journey of Monarch butterflies.

From guided butterfly walks to hands-on activities and pollinator education, it was inspiring to see so many people connecting with nature and supporting conservation.

Help us keep the momentum going. Plant native species in your own backyard, share what you’ve learned with friends and family, and protect pollinators in your own community. 🌱

🐦 Fall migration is officially underway at the Tommy Thompson Park Bird Research Station!

That means it’s time to start looking skyward and we’re already seeing some of our first signs of migration. 👀

Say hello to the Northern Waterthrush, one of the many migratory birds that pass through Tommy Thompson Park each fall. This particular visitor is a little ahead of schedule, but we’re not complaining!

Despite its name, the Northern Waterthrush is actually a warbler and one with a lifestyle that makes it stand out from many of its treetop-dwelling relatives.

Follow along as we welcome more incredible migrants throughout the season! 🍂🐦

🥏 Big news for disc golf in Canada!

Two TRCA courses have been recognized by UDisc among the best short (9-hole) disc golf courses in the world! 🌎

🏆 Albion Hills Birdie Course — #1 in Canada | #10 in the world
🏆 Bruce’s Mill Disc Golf Course — #4 in Canada | #41 in the world

These rankings are a testament to the incredible work of our staff, volunteers, partners, and the disc golf community who have helped create and care for these welcoming, family-friendly courses.

And the excitement doesn't stop there! The ChainLink Conservation Series (CCS) continues to grow, with its next stop at MEC Whitby, following successful launches at MEC Toronto and MEC North York.

Through CCS, players can discover disc golf and connect with the outdoors while learning about conservation. Even better, $1 from every CCS disc sold is donated to the Toronto and Region Conservation Foundation, supporting local conservation efforts. 🌿

Thank you to everyone who has helped make these milestones possible. Here's to growing the sport, connecting people with nature, and welcoming more players to our courses!

What a fantastic day at the COVID Memorial Garden in Rowntree Mills Park! 🌼

On July 28, community members from the Rexdale SNAP Neighbourhood came together to install a new rock border, add plant labels, and get creative by decorating rocks to give the garden an extra pop of colour. 🌿🎨

It was a rewarding day of teamwork, creativity, and stewardship, helping to create a more welcoming and vibrant community space. Thank you to everyone who attended and contributed to the garden’s ongoing care!
