If you’ve never been to Toronto, you may not know that an expansive green oasis winds its way through the heart of the city: the Don River Valley. This natural wonder is a jewel in Toronto, serving as a critical natural refuge in a sprawling urban landscape. Despite its immense size – spanning 30,000 acres, which is ten times larger than New York’s Central Park – its annual maintenance budget is a mere $1.2 million CAD. Therefore, volunteers play an important role in the preservation and upkeep of this natural wonder.
