Examining the bizarre history of Queen’s Park’s first zoo, this work references the interesting relationship that early settlers had with their environment. It explores the idea that then, as now, nature surrounds us. The ability to see it is often a matter of perspective. When you begin to look at your environment through this lens, you realize that nature is often looking back.
