These parts of the airport property are comprised of short mowed grass, flood plains and land leased for agricultural purposes. The Etobicoke Creek provides an undisturbed stretch for bird habitat and acts as a wildlife corridor for numerous species of mammals. Aviation safety concerns dictate that birds and other wildlife must be controlled. The GTAA operates a wildlife program that exceeds the requirements of the Transport Canada recommended Airport Wildlife Management Program. Contracted wildlife control officers use habitat manipulation, trapping and removal as part of one of the most comprehensive programs of its kind in Canada.
