Biodiversity in the City of Toronto

There is so much diversity within my own city of Toronto.  More than just raccoons, skunks, squirrels, and chipmunks that we see on the streets or in our backyards, the city is teeming with wildlife.  The city has created a series of biodiversity booklets to help residents reconnect with nature and help cultivate a sense of stewardship:
  • Birds of Toronto
  • Butterflies of Toronto
  • Spiders of Toronto
  • Fishes of Toronto
  • Mammals of Toronto
  • Reptiles and Amphibians of Toronto
  • Trees, Shrubs and Vines of Toronto
  • Bees of Toronto
  • Mushrooms of Toronto
These booklets are available in print at Toronto Public Library branches, and online.
