Located near the centre of Scarborough, this ravine contains a well-used hiking trail. West Highland Creek runs through the park, and many of the areas adjacent to the trail are natural. Birkdale Ravine is one of the pioneer TNS sites and stewards worked on removing invasive plants such as burdock, garlic mustard, and more. Since 2023, we have planted native plants each year to increase the site’s biodiversity.
