Ecological Restoration Planting with Nikibii Dawadinna Giigwag

Who we are: Nikibii Dawadinna Giigwag is a land-based Indigenous youth program at the University of Toronto. Each year, with the support of the City of Toronto's Urban Forestry Grants and Incentives Program, we plant up to 1,000 native trees and shrubs to restore the region's biodiversity and ecological health.
