Join TRCA for the fifth annual Earth Day clean-up at The Meadoway!

At this annual event, we will work together to clean up The Meadoway, recording the litter we collect to contribute to community science projects that benefit the health of our watersheds. Gloves, garbage bags and litter picker tools will be available to use during the event.

To help contribute to our understanding of the plants and animals that call The Meadoway home, TRCA will also be running a mini bio blitz! We’ll be recording what we see and submitting our observation to the City Nature Challenge 2026: Toronto and GTA iNaturalist project.

To participate in the mini bio blitz, you will need to bring a data-enabled device with the iNaturalist app installed. iNaturalist is a platform that puts nature at your fingertips, allowing anyone to record and share nature observations and contribute to biodiversity science. Additional data-enabled devices will be available to borrow for the activity.
