Accessibility at Mass Audubon
Mass Audubon strives to create a welcoming presence for a wide range of visitors, including making our sanctuaries and nature centers more accessible. We're working hard to ensure that everyone can enjoy the nature of Massachusetts.
When I walk by myself on one of Mass Audubon's All Persons trails, I hear more, feel more, and take in more with all of my senses. I go at my own speed, stopping when I want to, standing quietly for as long as I choose, and taking in the beauty of nature in my own unique way.
—Jerry Berrier, Perkins School for the Blind
Sensory Friendly Days
In order to continue making nature accessible to all, Mass Audubon created a summer program series of Sensory Friendly Days at sanctuaries throughout Massachusetts.
During these times, people could visit when properties were closed to the general public or tended to be relatively quiet.
