Nashoba Brook Wildlife Sanctuary
This mostly wooded sanctuary consists of two separate parcels that are contiguous to a larger complex of preserved land owned by the Town of Westford. Mass Audubon's 42-acre Concord Road parcel features a short loop trail through a white pine-oak forest. In spring, listen for the calls of the woodfrog as you pass close to the
vernal pool or search for migrating
warblers. You may continue your
walk on the multiple use recreation
trails that meander through town
land and the other parcel.
