| High Park | |
| Located
within the City of Toronto, High Park's black oak savanna and woodland
communities are considered continentally significant by virtue of their
northern location, size, and species richness. Interesting plants
include cup plant, wild lupine, sassafras and open-grown black, red and
white oaks. There are several intact parcels of savanna along the
west side of West Road.
The public has been very committed to the protection and conservation of this unique habitat. There are opportunities for public participation in plant propagation, planting, weed removal,monitoring and interpretation. Contact the Parks Department at (416) 392-1748. The Nature Centre and trail network make High Park an excellent place to learn about savannas. Directions: The north entrance is located off Bloor Street West, west of Parkside Drive at High Park Avenue. |
