One of my favourite places in Toronto is the Leslie Street Spit or Tommy Thompson park which a long peninsula (I think) that is built on construction waste and landfill. Now an internationally significant bird site. “Naturalization had not been planned” is a line I always remember and love from the Wikipedia article (from years ago). Says a lot about how often it is indeed and must be planned, most of the time. I like that it mostly belongs to the birds now and hopefully will for a long time. Thanks for the thoughts!
