Cherry Beach Reborn
Advertisement
Discover how nature is reclaiming and restoring a Toronto waterfront transformed by centuries of human activity.
Walk along Toronto’s eastern waterfront to explore the many layers of a landscape that has been dramatically reshaped over the past two centuries. Look across the Outer Harbour to Tommy Thompson Park and hear how a breakwater built from construction debris evolved into an important habitat for birds, mammals, and fish. You’ll also learn how invasive plants are transforming local ecosystems, and see how volunteers are removing them and reintroducing native species to help biodiversity flourish.
Beyond its environmental history, you’ll explore the different communities that have found space at Cherry Beach, including its longstanding significance to Toronto’s 2SLGBTQIA+ communities.
