The chorus frogs are back and singing as Hillview Recreation Park wakes up for spring. Chorus frog calls are described as sounding like running your finger along a fine-toothed comb. They are usually one of the first frogs to start calling in the spring.

PARK TECHNICIAN OPENING.

We want to congratulate our previous Park Technician Mark Wilson on a well deserved retirement! He kept Hillview and our other areas looking fantastic for over 14 years. His knowledge and skills will greatly be missed. We want to thank him for his service to Plymouth County Conservation.

With that retirement comes a great opportunity to join our team as a Park Technician. The link is posted below:
