The Community Stewardship Program is a volunteer program run by the City of Toronto's Parks, Forestry and Recreation department. This is a great program for anyone interested in learning more about Toronto's green spaces or who just wants to spend more time in the great outdoors. Participants have the opportunity to get their hands dirty for two hours each week in one of six naturalized park spaces within the city. These are spaces that feature "wild" areas rather than traditional mown and planted areas. They provide habitat for wildlife and often include water management features as well. No prior knowledge is necessary - the program provides lots of on-site training, a range of special workshops throughout the season and each team works with an experienced volunteer leader. Plus volunteers are invited to a year-end corn roast!
