Management Planning for Wilket Creek and Taylor (Massey) Creek ESAs

Environmentally Significant Areas (ESAs) are natural spaces that contribute to biodiversity and important ecological services. Through the Ravine Strategy, the City is currently developing management plans for Wilket Creek Forest ESA and Taylor (Massey) Creek ESA.

The City is inviting us to help shape these plans by sharing our local knowledge about ecological and use-based values, and associated pressures within these natural areas. Feedback can be provided through:

Toronto Field Naturalists wishes to acknowledge this Land through which we walk. For thousands of years, the Land has been shared by the Wendat, the Haudenosaunee, and the Anishinaabe. Toronto is situated on the Land within the Toronto Purchase, Treaty 13, the traditional and treaty Lands of the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation. This territory is also part of the Dish with One Spoon Wampum, a covenant agreement between Anishinaabeg, Haudenosaunee, Wendat peoples and allied nations to peaceably share the land and all its resources. Today, the Land is home to peoples of numerous nations. We are all grateful to have the opportunity to continue to care for and share the beauty of this Land.
