Scales Nature Park
Nature enthusiast Jeff Hathaway shares a passion for Canada's indigenous animals—specifically amphibians and reptiles. At Scales Nature Park, staff and volunteers introduce visitors of all ages to more than 300 cold-blooded specimens from more than 60 species, most of which are native to Canada. The wildlife-conservation facility also houses exotic reptiles and amphibians donated by their owners or seized from private homes by protective agencies. An indoor nature centre showcases some animals in custom-built enclosures and serves as the venue for a range of programs, including hands-on animal demonstrations, guided walks, and guest lectures. The surrounding 21-hectare park, with 3 km of nature trails, features natural habitats including ponds, wetlands, and hardwood forest. Outreach programs for schools, libraries, birthday parties, and other venues, are conducted around the province.
