We are a group of nature-loving Torontonians committed to rescuing this precious and unique corner of Toronto’s special ravine system. The Vale of Avoca has been in decline for years now and we have started this campaign to advocate for action, bringing together all stakeholders to create a sustainable program of restoration and repair.
