Get Involved

At Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA), community learning is a critical component of developing a sustainable city region.

Our community learning team delivers programs focused on natural and cultural heritage, habitat creation, and citizen science that engage the public in environmental initiatives.

We work in partnership with residents, schools, community groups, and municipalities to deliver these programs.
