Get Involved

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

Our community outreach programs focus on natural and cultural heritage, habitat creation, and citizen science that engages the public in environmental initiatives.

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