Meet Oreo, a very unusual neighbor at Evergreen Burial Park!

A local resident spotted this piebald squirrel near the Winborne entrance. Oreo has brownish-gray fur, white feet, and a white stripe around his tummy. Piebald squirrels are believed to be extremely rare, making this little visitor a special sight.

We are grateful to Grace Moore for sharing Oreo’s story and photo with us. Keep your eyes open the next time you visit. You never know who you might meet!
