Rouge: Canada's First National Urban Park

Rouge National Urban Park is a unique blend of nature, agriculture, and history within Canada's largest metropolitan area. It's the only national park containing active farms, some of which have been worked for generations. It protects Toronto's last-remaining Class 1 farmland alongside vital ecosystems and significant Indigenous archaeological sites. #Canada #RougePark #UrbanPark #Toronto 🇨🇦

Eastern Milksnakes are named that for the false belief that these snakes used to take milk from cows in barns.  In fact, they commonly hang out near barns where there is usually a steady supply of mice and rats, high on the list of their preferred foods. #snakes #nature #Canada #RougePark
