Most of the nocturnal critters my friends and I find are insects, but spiders, millipedes and amphibians also appear in our flashlight beams.

The Credit, the Humber, the Grand and the Nottawasaga rivers are home to a lively community of creatures that form a complex, interdependent web of life.

Raccoons, squirrels and robins adapted to urban life long ago.

What happens in Bee City stays in Bee City.

The benefits of the bugs in our backyards.

Squirrels, racoons, owls, chickadees, and many other creatures find safety and shelter within trees.
