A cool development at the very cool revitalized Don River.

Toronto’s effort to re-naturalize a major river and the surrounding lands nears completion, and the discoveries have underscored the resilience of ecosystems in the face of human-led destruction.

Some of you may remember when plants started springing back to life in the new Don River mouth, but this article dives deeper: discovery of a micro resurgence of life since those plants sprouted. American chestnut pollen, a seed from the 1500s, remains of peat bogs, worms, larvae and zooplankton.

Creatures buried in soil for over a century burst back to life in Toronto waterfront

A project to restore coastal wetland leads to astonishing discoveries of a host of life: seeds and plant scraps, as well as water fleas, worms, larvae and plankton

Occam’s Razor. Sounds more like a whack, but of course it could “flare up” out of the blue 20 years from now.👨🏼‍🦳

“a flare up of something”…💣💥

Not My Inside Voice 🇨🇦🦊🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 @janmac.bsky.social · 9d

That's hard, when the thing doesn't swell up or bruise and you don't exactly know how it happened. Worth having it looked at though, because the usual "rest, ice, compress & elevate" that is recommended for practically everything isn't always great. Better to know than to wonder a year from now.
