Welcome to Our Site!

The Anthropocene is an emerging epoch in the Earth system that requires a “state shift” in the way we think... Human activities have a decisive causal influence on the Earth system, but to date the responses of the social sciences to the challenge have been inadequate. It is necessary to do better.

- Dryzek, John S., and Jonathan Pickering, 2019

We're excited to announce the launch of our new Human Geography and Environmental Policy & Law pages, featuring the research and writing of co-president Ariane Blouin. Her academic work offers critical insights into sustainable land development, forest protection, and ethical environmental governance. These pages support our broader mission by linking real-world case studies to our advocacy goals at the David Dunlap Observatory. Stay tuned for more contributions from Ariane and our expanding leadership team.

Discover new field photography, capturing deer in motion and the creation of the new bridge standing amid a rapidly changing landscape. Paired with new graphics spotlighting the transformation around the new pedestrian bridge area.

A Message From Our Group's Founder Kyle Kuthe:

"Witnessing the destruction of Richmond Hill's natural environment has shaped my academic and professional goals. I am committed to acquiring the credentials to provide scientific evidence and document through art the ethical concerns surrounding the ongoing deforestation at the DDO—a profound injustice and planning faux pas".
