Spanning hundreds of acres of protected beach, fields, woodlands, pond, and marsh, Allens Pond Wildlife Sanctuary was created by generous families who opted to conserve their land. Extensive trail systems offer ocean and pond views from many vantage points and afford visitors a full day of walking and birding. Please leave dogs and other pets at home.

Sanctuary News & Events
Allens Pond Wildlife Sanctuary
Mass Audubon staff recently visited with students at B.M.C. Durfee High School in Fall River to tell them first-hand about the many paths and available opportunities that can lead to different careers in the environmental field.
Allens Pond Wildlife Sanctuary
In the summer of 2021, we conducted pilot studies at both Allens Pond and Great Neck wildlife sanctuaries on the South Coast. The results we found will help inform future land management decisions as we work to enhance turtle nesting habitats at these two properties.
