Welcome to the Bishop Park Wiki!
Welcome to Bishop Park
Bishop Park was established in the early 1900's by conservationist Samuel Bishop in order to study the abundance of flora and fauna residing in the county of Hanstpire, Nova Scotia. The area was well known for being a great place to raise crops and livestock and was home to a wide range of staple Nova Scotia creatures. Many common species thought to be exclusive to other areas can also be found here in the park which means this is an interesting and unique ecosystem. There are also a wide range of species that are completely unique to Bishop Park and the Hantspire area which is another one of the reasons the park was originally established.
