Toronto Wildlife Centre, Local Enhancement and Appreciation of Forests (LEAF) have joined together for the #BackyardBiodiversity campaign!
Backyard Biodiversity
Wildlife In The City
With a little bit of education and a lot of heart, we can achieve peaceful co-existence with wildlife throughout the urban forest, starting with our own backyards!
From May through December 2018, we are working in partnership with Local Enhancement and Appreciation of Forests and Ontario Power Generation to spread the word on ways that you can maximize your #BackyardBiodiversity.
Each week we'll share helpful tips through social media and every eight weeks we'll share a blog highlighting different ways to care for the urban forest and the wildlife that lives within it!
Join the conversation on social media with #BackyardBiodiversity
