The City of Toronto has released the latest books in the City's growing Biodiversity Book Series. The latest books in the series are Mushrooms of Toronto, Bees of Toronto, and Trees, Shrubs & Vines of Toronto. There are now nine published books in the series.
The Biodiversity Book Series is intended to raise awareness of, create opportunities for exploration and enjoyment, and cultivate a sense of stewardship for the non-human residents found in Toronto. The work required to complete each of the books involves more than a hundred volunteers dedicating their time, passion and expertise to the project. Through their work, the City is beginning to compile a comprehensive inventory of species found in the city.
Previously released books in the series include Birds of Toronto, Butterflies of Toronto, Spiders of Toronto, Fishes of Toronto, Mammals of Toronto, and Reptiles & Amphibians of Toronto.
Beginning June 1, each of these new books will be available at Toronto Public Library branches for members of the public to pick up and keep for their personal use.
The Biodiversity Book Series is an initiative of the Environmental Planning section of the City of Toronto's City Planning division. The initiative is supported by the Environment and Energy division and the Parks, Forestry & Recreation division.
