Who are Rewilders?
Rewilders is a volunteer group committed to creating and maintaining urban pollinator habitats in Toronto’s Palmerston–Little Italy, Seaton Village, and Harbord Village neighbourhoods.
Through native plant giveaways, public plantings, seed harvesting, winter seed sowing demonstrations, and educational talks, we aim not only to support native pollinators but also to foster a sense of community connection and shared stewardship of our green spaces.
Land Acknowledgement
Toronto/Takaronto is the territories of the Anishinabewaki, Wendake-Nionwentsio, Hodonosaunee, Mississauga and Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation.
Rewilders would like to acknowledge that these lands were taken from the Indigenous peoples who lived and stewarded them for generations. They worked in harmony with nature and each other sharing in a relationships of reciprocity. There is much work to be done decolonizing our relationship with the natural word and the Indigenous people of these lands. Rewilders aims to learn and continue to practice a more holistic and sustainable way of life emphasizing the interrelationships between wildlife, plants and people.
