The City of Toronto typically does not remove grass and weeds from City-owned natural areas. Instead, it manages these areas through forest thinning, controlled burns and invasive plant control. These methods help keep the forests healthy and support the environment.
The Ravine and Natural Feature Protection By-law aims to keep natural areas undisturbed. To check if a location is within a Ravine Protection Area, you can use the Ravine and Natural Feature Protection By-law Map online.
