Wetlands are unique habitats that support many special animal and plant species. In the Greater Toronto Area, only about 10% of historical wetlands are still around today. Wetlands offer many benefits to humans whether economically, recreationally, or environmentally so we need to protect and rebuild these sensitive ecosystems. Kat from Ontario Streams will share more about our urban wetlands and their threats as well as how organizations are working to protect and recreate wetlands in the GTA. We will also promote resources from York Region and how we all can protect our local environment.
