Registration is now open for Fern & Feather Day Camp in Edgartown! We’re looking forward to sunshine, summertime, and days filled with adventure in the great outdoors. 

Felix Neck soared this year, and we want to share some of the accomplishments made possible by our nature community. Find out about our year of learning and teaching, sharing nature, and protecting wildlife in our Annual Report.

In the winter months, when animal activity seems to be down, you can often find signs of the few animals that remain active on Martha’s Vineyard this time of year—especially in freshly fallen snow.

Felix Neck Sanctuary Director Suzan Bellincampi recently published her second book, The Nature of Martha’s Vineyard, a collection of nature essays that gathers the best of the nature columns she's penned over more than 16 years.

This summer, the sanctuary hosted a special crop of returning camp counselors, Leaders-in-Training, interns, and volunteers. We asked a few of them what makes them tick, why they come to Felix Neck, and what they hope to accomplish, and their answers inspired us.

Summer 2018 was an incredible season for the monitoring of our local shorebird, Osprey, and horseshoe crab populations—both in the numbers of these animals recorded as well as in the turnout of dedicated and eager volunteers who led the charge. 

It was a historic year for Felix Neck Wildlife Sanctuary. Early 2017 brought the end of a very quick—and successful—fundraising campaign that enabled construction to start on the sanctuary’s first new building in 50 years.
