An Enduring Wilderness: Toronto’s Natural Parklands is a series commissioned in 2012 by the City of Toronto that chronicles the extensive ravine network of sunken rivers, forested vales, and an expansive shoreline of Toronto, which has historically been overlooked, neglected, or forgotten. Robert Burley looks at these sites as integral parts of urban life, from lake views of the Scarborough Bluffs to glimpses of the densely wooded trails in the Carolinian forests of Rouge Park, questioning their role in a diverse and growing twenty-first century city.
