High Park Nature
High Park is home to one of North America's most endangered habitats - a Black Oak Savannah & Woodlands. This park is an amazing place to catch a glimpse of the sand prairie systems that used to cover much southern Ontario. Majestic 150 year old black oak trees tower over tall grass prairie plants like big bluestem, little bluestem, butterfly milkweed and wild lupine.
This park is perfect for adults and children looking for a place to explore nature right in the city. It's remarkable how many different species of birds, mammals, insects and plants you can discover in High Park. Stray away from the more manicured areas and take a walk along the nature trails. Or visit the park's ponds and creeks and watch quietly for wildlife.
Remember how precious the park's natural areas are and please treat the park with respect when you visit. High Park is ours to take care of so that many more people can enjoy the wonderful legacy that John Howard passed along to us.

Lone Pine Publishing
I have been fortunate enough to have some of my bird photographs included in Lone Pine Publishing's new book "Birds of Canada"
About Lone Pine Publishing
At a time when we are saturated with information from a host of media, we believe we can find a greater sense of place and understanding by exploring the quieter universe of our home ground.
Lone Pine Publishing is creating a library of books that celebrates the diversity and character of our own backyards. Our interest in nature, outdoor recreation and popular history has led us to publish titles of local relevance to enrich our appreciation of who we are as a people and a place.
As the coverage of our own region has deepened, we have broadened our reach to work with authors from other regions to develop exceptional titles for their areas: the Rocky Mountains, the West Coast, and the Great Lakes. We have attempted to be a good regional publisher in every region where we are present. The results are embodied in the books presented on this website.
We have a family of colleagues at Lone Pine who have contributed so much to our success, and we are grateful to them and to you for supporting us and helping us to realize some of our best hopes.
