East Points Meadow at the Top of Scarborough Bluffs




At the end of Coronation Drive in the furthest Eastern reaches of the City of Toronto, is a small miracle of neglect known as the East Points Park meadow.

It straddles the length of the Scarborough Bluff for several kilometers and is home to a rich diversity of birds and animals. Unfortunately it is coming to the attention of the City and improvements are already underway. Birchbark has been laid on the pathways, directional signs are going up, trees and bushes for replanting are in place and birdhouses have been erected.

The Trans-Canada trail has now reached across the mouth of Highland Creek and more and more people are discovering this little known paradise.

We are worried about its future.
