Saturday Sighting - It’s All About The Animals

Saturday Sighting - It’s All About The Animals

          What’s up Canada!  You know who it is!  It’s me again, Ben the MNR guy at Backus Page House Museum.  I’m here to give you your weekly Saturday Sightings.  Everybody here knows what a tree frog looks like right?  Okay good!

          Lately the staff here at Backus-Page House Museum has been seeing a lot of tree frogs in this area.  They have been everywhere on trees and in the grass, its crazy!  The past week the staff here had emptied our World War 1 sand bags and has stored the bags into containers.  While doing this we saw a snake and a HUGE spider.  This year a lot of deer have been sighted in this area so if you’re driving by please be careful.

          We also had day camp this past Thursday where the kids learned about animals and how they live.  If you are interested in signing a child up for day camp give us a call here at Backus-Page House Museum and we will be able to assist you.

          That is your weekly Saturday Sightings with Ben the MNR guy.  Hope to see you soon and remember to stay cool.

Saturday Sightings – Wait is that a SNAKE!!!

Saturday Sightings – Wait is that a SNAKE!!!

What’s up Canada!  You know who it is!  It’s me again, Ben the MNR guy at Backus Page House Museum.  I’m here to give you your weekly Saturday Sightings.  If you are like me and cannot stand the sight of snakes then… don’t look at the picture at the bottom of the page.

Throughout my years of working here at Backus Page House Museum I have never seen a snake here at the park.  Believe it or not I have not seen a wild snake on park property.  Well that ended when one of our weed and wine volunteers found a HUGE ALIVE snake in the grass.  This snake was about three feet long said one of our volunteers.  This snake was massive.

July 29^th and 30^th we here at Backus Page House had an American Civil War Reenactment.  It was an awesome weekend full of history, knowledge, and fun.  Thanks a lot to the people who helped run, performed, and were a part of the Reenactment.

That is your weekly Saturday Sightings with Ben the MNR guy.  Hope to see you soon and remember to stay cool.
