Listen and Learn from Our Tall Ones, The Trees
About Jane: Jane Jacobs (1916–2006) was an American-born writer and activist best known for her writings about cities. Her first book, The Death and Life of Great American Cities (1961), upended the ideas of modernist city planning and building, and offered a new vision of diverse, fine-grained cities made for and by ordinary people. After moving from New York City to Toronto in 1968, she published six more major books about cities, economics, ethics, governance and culture, two of them Canadian bestsellers.
Walk Description: This walk honours one of the few old-growth forest landscapes in the region, Lemoine’s Point.
This forest holds a spirit of ancestral continuance, our relationship to place, and we will share cultural stories and teachings toward understanding human responsibility to maintain a balanced ecosystem.
Please bring a folding chair if available.
