Markham Wedding Photographer An outdoor organic produce market operates during the weekends. Twice a year,
plant sales are held at the Cafe of plants native to the park to raise money for
conservation activities. The plants are native to High Park and Ontario and
cultivation of the plants is encouraged to preserve the species. The Cafe is
also used for community meetings.
The Volunteer Stewardship Program (VSP) is a volunteer group working with
City of Toronto Urban Forestry and Horticulture staff, to protect and restore
the remaining natural areas of High Park including large areas of Savannah with
Black Oak trees and related flora and fauna. Spring, summer and fall activities
include planting, collecting seeds, and removing invasive species from
restoration sites. There are educational presentations and some greenhouse work
in winter. The High Park Natural Environment Committee volunteer committee
advises the city on environmental issues in the park. The groups have developed
a web site highparknature.org with extensive information about High
Park.
Trains run daily in the summer months from 10:30 AM (weather permitting).
Stops are scheduled at the Bloor Street entrance (stop 4), the Black Oak Cafe
(stop 5), Grenadier Pond (stop 7), the Zoo and children's castle (stop 1).
Please call 416-721-2012 for information.
The eastern ravine starts at the north-east corner at Bloor and Keele Streets
as a forested area around a spring-fed pond. The ravine has a small stream
winding south to small ponds just north of The Queensway. South of the forested
area are the grassy, developed areas for picnicking, the adventure playground,
and the zoo. The ponds, which also hold back storm water, drain into pipes and
into Lake Ontario.
Another pond is to be found near the Jamie Bell playground. In the spring and
summer, several species of ducks, including the wonderfully colourful wood
ducks, can be seen in this pond. Great blue herons can sometimes be seen there,
too.Click Here For More Information Markham Wedding Photographer
