Our Northern Crew made a triumphant return from Moose Factory and Moosonee last week! We had a great time at the John R. Delany Youth Centre while on the island, and we also enjoyed our visit to Wagoshig First Nation on our way home. There were some minor complications on the drive back (including a van door that refused to open and a touchy diesel pump) but we made it to home base with some great stories to tell!
Now, after a few days to recover, we are preparing our next team to head south. Brittany, Bryan, Amanda and Michelle will be back on the road starting in London on Thursday, and will be traveling through the Windsor, Chatham, and Long Point areas over the next few weeks.
The change in climate and environment, though it may seem small, should make quite a difference in the coming trip. There is a wider diversity of reptile species in Southern Ontario, including (in various places) Black Rat Snakes, Fox Snakes, Massassauga Rattlesnakes, and Five Lined Skinks. It should make for another exciting trip!
