Some people call me a janitor, the weeds call me the
devil, and the garden calls me there savor.
But really I just like to be known as the MNR. With this job you got to be ready to deal
with any situation. The job can go anywhere
for bathroom cleaning to trying to avoid lime disease from ticks when out in
the woods.
During this week the
biggest thing that happened was we had a sport car sit for four days straight in
our park parking lot. Thankful to our comrades
in the OPP found the owner and the owner has moved his car. For some reason the owner of the sport car
didn’t want to donate his car to our staff lol.
Shout out to our police officers who are keeping our parks and cities
save.
MNR was also given a task
from Mother Nature. Mother Nature tried
to blow down a tree during the night but wasn’t able to blow it down to the
ground. Instead she got it to hang over
the roadway at the park. Well that
endangers our guests who are entering the park, so the MNR took a saw and cut
down and moved the tree out of harm’s way.
Shout out to our volunteer Ken who was a huge help in this MNR operation.
That’s all for this
week folks. Eh do me a favor and come
down to Backus-Page House and John E. Pearce Park and say hi to the staff down
here and have and tour the Backus-Page House and the trail we have to
offer.

Hey that is a nice straight looking tree. Any chance of setting it aside to season for a few seasons and using it in a sawyers demonstration in a future event?
Hi Simon,
Unfortunately all trees that fall down or are cut become wildlife habitat in the park. Basically we leave them to break down on their own. We do have some wood off site that we could bring in and we are looking for demonstrations for the Heritage Farm Show on September 10-11. Contact the office 519-762-3072
