 Long Pasture Wildlife Sanctuary
Ponds, vernal pools, buttonbush
swamp, salt marsh, and other
habitats make this 110-acre
sanctuary a haven for many
species of wildlife. Along the
trails, you will find groves of
tupelo, holly, and spruce trees.
Surprisingly large oak trees along
with red maple are interspersed
throughout the property. The
trails are easy to walk with gentle
slopes along mowed grass paths
ending with a spectacular view
of Barnstable Harbor. Watch the
sunny open meadows for many
different species of butterflies
and dragonflies and a resident
pair of red-tailed hawks.
