td Bank Group has donated $1 million to the University of Toronto Scarborough (UTSC) campus to support research in urban forest conservation and biology. Students, faculty, and community members were invited to plant trees in Rouge Park Saturday morning to mark the occasion, as part of an event through the td Friends of the Environment Foundation. This particular donation will fund a limited-term professorship at the Scarborough campus in urban forest conservation and biology, as well as research scholarships for environmental science and undergraduate research opportunity fellowships. The foundation has contributed more than $60 million over the past 23 years to support over 20,000 grassroots environment and wildlife projects across the country. UTSC is in the midst of a multi-year expansion to accommodate a growing student population.
