“Your imagination will soar in this illuminating and inspiring work. In this highly personal collaborative effort between novelists, poets, and a photographer, seasonality, continuity, change, and continuous movement are seamlessly melded into one harmonic effort that forces you to reconsider what a park is, and in doing so will forever change the way you see the city that you thought you knew.” — Charles A. Birnbaum, FASLA, FAAR, President & CEO, The Cultural Landscape Foundation

“With three-quarters of Canadians now living in cities, I’m glad that our city planners, municipal politicians, and the public are paying attention to the protection and sound management of urban green space, like Toronto’s world-class ravine system. Urban green spaces complement traditional infrastructure, provide a multitude of ecological benefits, and contribute to the health and well-being of local residents.” — David Suzuki

“While it would seem at first to be only of local interest to those living in and around Toronto, the photos themselves are gorgeous and the conditions they document are nearly universal for other North American cities: scenes of natural, remnant ecosystems butting up against, but nonetheless resisting, the brute force of urban development.” — BLDGBLOG

“Burley’s photos of all of it are stunning and will surprise some people: this is Toronto? . . . Big full colour photo books like this are expensive to produce and time-consuming efforts, but An Enduring Wilderness reveals a Toronto you’ll want to know better.” — Toronto Star

“The photos that comprise An Enduring Wilderness: Toronto’s Natural Parklands, which is both a book and a photo show, offer a delicate portrait of the city that we surely don’t see enough, even as we’re quick to offer platitudes about how lovely our ravine system is.” — BlogTO
