Join us for an educational and enjoyable hike through the Don River Ravine, which is a significant natural area in Toronto providing vital habitats for various plant and animal species. The ravine is also historically significant to Indigenous communities.
During the hike, we'll explore the forest and hills of the ravine, observe wildlife such as beavers and coyotes, and learn about biodiversity conservation. Our hike is an opportunity to discover and appreciate the natural diversity and historical significance of the Don River Ravine.
To minimize our impact, we'll follow Leave No Trace principles and protect natural habitats. By participating in this hike, we indirectly promote Biodiversity Day and contribute to the essential cause of protecting and preserving ecosystems and biodiversity.
Let's Hike T.O. is a hiking community open to everyone with a focus on newcomers, people of colour, and young adults aged 20-40. All are welcome on our walks.
