Friends of Cedarvale Park and Ravine (FOCP)

Friends of Cedarvale Park and Ravine works to restore and maintain the natural landscape of Cedarvale Park in York while building community connections through environmental stewardship. The organization focuses on removing invasive species, planting native trees and shrubs, and improving trail conditions across the ravine system. By engaging volunteers and residents in hands-on conservation work, the group protects the ecological health of this green space that serves the greater Toronto area. Their efforts create habitat for wildlife, improve water quality in the ravine, and provide opportunities for families to connect with nature. FOCP also runs educational programs that teach visitors about local ecosystems and the importance of protecting urban natural areas for current and future generations.
