This online event was followed by onsite activities in partnership with the City of Toronto’s CleanTO program, resulting in the removal of 199 pounds of plastic waste from the Black Creek Parkland forest.  Launching removal of 1 tonne plastics from Toronto urban forestIn May, we launched our project to remove 1 tonne of plastic from Toronto’s urban forest by the end of the year. So far, 601 pounds of plastic have been removed through an investment of 45 volunteer hours. Restore Toronto Urban ForestOur ongoing community‑led initiative to remove 1 tonne of plastic from Toronto’s urban forests continues to deliver measurable impact across key sites, including Black Creek Parkland, Driftwood Park, Fred Young Park, and Dan Lannuzzi Park and Pond.   Stories of TransformationThrough consistent on‑the‑ground efforts focused on forest interiors, ravines, and hidden green spaces, we have removed over 945 pounds of total waste, including 601 pounds of plastic, the equivalent of pulling roughly 27,000 single-use plastic water bottles out of the woods. Each cleanup brings us closer to our goal while protecting biodiversity, improving soil and water quality, and strengthening urban climate resilience. This work reflects the power of sustained action and the impact individuals can achieve when they commit to protecting the environment. Over the month of May, our cleanup efforts spanned four urban parks, covering an estimated 65,120 square meters of forest and green space. With the dedication of five committed volunteers, we contributed approximately 45 volunteer hours toward restoring Toronto’s urban forest ecosystems. 👉 View and download our full project report for the month of May to learn more about our impact, findings, progress toward our 1‑tonne plastic removal goal, and how you can be part of it. We are incredibly grateful for your support; it makes everything we do possible.
