Get to know our Friends Students!

Whitney:

Hello, everyone! If I look familiar, it’s because I’m back for my second summer as a Friends Student here at Murphys Point. I have completed an Outdoor Adventure Naturalist program at Algonquin College and will be continuing studies this fall in the Environmental Technician program. I’m looking forward to finding lots of gray ratsnakes for our Adopt-a-Snake program this season!

Bethany:

Hello! It’s my first year working at a provincial park, and I’m thrilled to have joined such an amazing team! I’m entering my fifth year at Queen’s University studying psychology. I’ve always loved visiting provincial parks, and I am really excited to spend my summer outside learning all about the many different plant and wildlife species here at Murphys Point.

Be sure to say hello if you see us in the park!
