Hidden in the biodiversity crisis are stories of wildlife recovery that should inspire us to action. Looking forward to sharing 10 of these stories about Cdn wildlife this week. They are all evidence of hope that we can bend the curve on biodiversity loss.
Join us this Thursday as we explore 10 Canadian species that are rebounding thanks to conservation efforts. Learn about pronghorn, peregrine falcon and other Canadian species, along with how we can all help wildlife. Register today: fal.cn/3fTRs

Great news! Thanks to funding from Ontario Power Generation’s Regional Biodiversity Program, we're creating more forested areas at Silver Creek Conservation Area through invasive species management, seedling and potted trees and shrub planting. 1/2

It's getting colder which means it's time to dig deep and find the resolve to play outside every single day. Our kids need it. We need it. #getoutside #ontariolockdown – at Halton Hills, Ontario

The greenbelt is also, very clearly the 'blue belt' in terms of temperature. This is from about 5 pm on a June day this summer (bluer is colder, clouds are black) @hamiltonjac @greenbeltca

Spent the afternoon learning about the invasive Gypsy Moth. Thanks Lee from @CVC_CA for tips on how to remove the egg sacks properly to help control them before they hatch into caterpillars come spring time. You will see the sacks on trees, patios and even on your RV.

My walk in the woods to celebrate the #firstdayofautumn made me angry. Litter is a symptom of a much bigger problem. People litter where they feel no sense of ownership and/or because they believe someone else will clean it up. Nature can't ask for help, but I can. #LeaveNoTrace – at Halton Hills, Ontario

Oh my goodness. Window washers at our HQ. Their swing stage collapsed onto Yonge Street below. They’re still at the top of this building sitting on a ledge.

This little girl needs to be our spokesperson for how we feel about all the unnecessary restrictions put on our life. She’s complaining she has a headache from all the things she’s being told she can’t do and she’s had ENOUGH. Basta means STOP in Italian!

People are gathering around and feeding fox kits living under The Beaches boardwalk. Please leave them be - feeding them will negatively affect their development into normal adults. If you see crowds or anyone feeding them, please report it to @311Toronto bit.ly/2KXJVbU

During our parks closures we ask everyone to obey all posted notices, parking signs & locked gates. Our staff are monitoring properties & trails for compliance at this time. Please show kindness & understanding. They're doing their part to help keep everyone safe during COVID-19.

Hi @LPWBR, thanks for following me, here's a heat map of the areas just north of Long Point showing surface temperatures on summer day in 2018 along with NCC restoration areas. Restoration areas are hot but getting colder!

Great to see budding #publichealth heros like Donald taking note & sharing facts with others on how we can help #SlowtheSpread of #COVID19!
How are your little heros making a difference at home?
My grandson Donald woke up this morning remembering the words of Dr. Tam. He’s only six but the message has gotten through and he is obeying all the rules. @Johnrockdoc @COHO_canada @PremierofNL @SeamusORegan

Trees know when we are close by. The chemistry of their roots and the perfumes of their leaves pump out change when we're near. When you feel good after a walk in the woods, it may be that certain species are bribing you ~ #theoverstory #richardpowers – at Halton Hills, Ontario

Effective today, all facilities in our 500+ parks including playgrounds will be closed in our effort to curb #COVID19 I've heard of too many instances of people socializing in our parks. These measures will reduce the spread & encourage physical distancing ow.ly/gioU50yTtc2
