As Seen On Our Trails!
You can see so many interesting things in our park. This picture was taken by a visitor, Mr. David Lenoe. He was hiking the red trail and encountered a large Black Rat Snake climbing a tree. These snakes can get quite large and have special scales on their bellies to climb trees. They like to eat bird eggs once they are up the tree and just hang out. On the ground they are formidable predators and can eat up to 1000 mice and rats a year! Have no fear though, these snakes are not venomous. If you encounter one, just observe it or photograph it for the scrapbook. They will not give you any trouble if you leave them alone.

Lots of Life
It is a magnificent site to behold and so simple and quaint. If you stop in, look in the pond! It's right by the front door so I am sure that you will find it hard to miss.

Wrens and Stuff
Different species of wrens exist in north and south America. The only species that exists in Europe is the Winter Wren. It is thought that this wren crossed the land bridge that used to exist in the Bering Strait.
Wrens have always been thought of as clever birds due to their darting abilities. The name probably originates from an old Saxon word, wroene.
