Toronto Parks, Forestry and Recreation with support from Toronto Parks and Trees Foundation, is planning to construct a straw bale teaching kitchen in High Park in 2011. Building structures of natural materials on municipal property can be a challenge, as the Friends of Dufferin Grove Park can attest to.
This is a natural complement to the award-winning High Park Children’s Garden, a food and ornamental garden utilizing organic and permaculture techniques.
The Foundation is running a buy-a-bale program. You can visit the Toronto Parks and Trees Foundation web site to participate.

I would like to help build when this project is ready. Please notify me for volunteer opportunities.
what opportunity! it is so difficult for city’s to approve of actions like this. go toronto!
