Take the Survey about Feeding Wildlife in Toronto

The City of Toronto is reviewing its Animal Bylaw, and would like your feedback.  You can take action by completing The City’s online survey before midnight on December 17, 2021.

Many aspects of the Animal Bylaw are included in the survey, and the TFN specifically supports changes to the rules for feeding of wildlife. Feeding wildlife has serious negative impacts on ecosystems, and the TFN encourages members to respond to the survey.

The TFN recommends that bird feeders be the only form of feeding of wildlife allowed in the City of Toronto, whether on publicly- or privately-owned land.

Please take a moment to add your voice in supporting changes to the Animal Bylaw.

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.
