This Toronto ‘Renaissance man’ led popular nature walks almost until the day he died. Regardless of the weather, Miles Hearn led nature walks all over Toronto, from Humber River to Lambton Woods.
Miles Hearn’s passion for playing music was matched only by his love of guiding nature walks.
His love of music began early. Growing up in Scarborough in the 1950s, he bonded with his mother over classical music. His grandmother bought him his first French horn in high school, and he was hooked. Though Carter left the city and stopped playing music, Hearn went on to perform with the Hamilton Philharmonic Orchestra and Toronto Symphony Orchestra for many years.
They married on New Year’s Day in 1989 and spent their honeymoon at the Briars on Lake Simcoe. It was the only time they both had four days off. “My dad was really great at making nature interesting for everyone,” Kathleen says. “He took my kids out and he always found something that would interest them — like a huge plant — and didn’t just lecture.”
