Toronto ravines make for leafy getaways all over the city.

The Toronto Environmental Alliance (TEA) works to promote green space in the city, improve our solutions for public transit and waste disposal. They are supporters of a new partnered campaign Love The Ravines, which champions one of Toronto’s best assets, our network of ravines.

Toronto has incredible wilderness spaces that perform important ecological services and are great for recreational activities like running and cycling. Found in the heart of the city, our ravines are little known gems that deserve our love. That’s why TEA has joined with a number of organizations to launch a new campaign called #LovetheRavines.

They have partnered with Green Space, Patagonia, Environmental Defence, Dot Dot Dash and Park People in creating a petition to let Toronto City Council know

that you want our ravines to be added to the protected lands that make up Ontario’s Greenbelt.

I spend a lot of my time walkimg in Toronto’s ravines with my dog. I’m always thrilled to be able to be in a place of pure nature, right within the city limits. Our ravines enhance the livability of the city in countless ways. They need help, and we cant afford to take them for granted.
