While maintaining trails today our staff came across some salamander friends seeking refuge under a log! Notice the two different species. The larger salamander, a Spotted Salamander, is a member of the mole salamander family. These salamanders are terrestrial and spend most of their time underground or beneath objects. The second salamander is a Red-backed Salamander, a member of the lungless salamander family. These salamanders breathe through their skin and membranes in the mouth and throat. Seeing both salamanders together was an exciting find for park staff!

Goldenrod is in full bloom right now in Wasaga Beach. This interesting article by the Kitchener Master Gardeners addresses the myth that Goldenrod is responsible for airborne allergens. Ontario Parks does not encourage or condone the consumption of wild plants in any form.
