At Wachusett Meadow Wildlife Sanctuary, we offer a multitude of fun and educational nature-based programs for students from Preschool to High School, as well as College and Community groups. Programs can be scheduled weekdays or weekends year round.
We have 12 miles of trails that traverse nearly 1,200 acres of woodlands, wetlands, and meadows, all of which support abundant and diverse wildlife. Additionally, the sanctuary’s historic farmhouse and barns, resident sheep flock, and hay fields offer additional curriculum options and a unique opportunity to appreciate human and natural history side by side.
