Deer, porcupine, red squirrel, and snowshoe hare all live in the thick, wooded places of the Irving Nature Park. Many wild flowers, grasses, and fungi are sheltered by the woods. Tiny pools of salty water are left in rocks during low tide. In these, you may find starfish and sea urchins. Mussels, mollusks, whelks and small, shrimp - like amphipods live under rocks.
Smooth periwinkles grow in damp rockweed exposed at low tide.
Roads and marked nature trails let visitors tour the Irving Nature Park without damaging it. In addition to reading brochures we also visited the Irving Nature Park and learned from Mr. Kelly Honeyman, the manager, not to pollute the environment or the animals will die. We talked to Mr. J.K.Irving, who is responsible for the park, about how we liked it. Speaking from our own experiences, we think it is a wonderful place and everyone young and old would enjoy it. Partridge Island has been used for many purposes.
