Great news! Thanks to REI's first-ever "Loving Our Local Outdoors" member vote grant, Allens Pond will receive a funding award to build new trails and create an amazing eight-mile circuit.

Register is now open for the 2019-2020 school year! These drop-off programs provide a wonderful opportunity for homeschoolers to meet with other students in a social environment while engaging with the natural world. 

Thanks to many generous donors, we were able to purchase, and permanently protect, the 25-acre Dorrance property (also known as Norma's Woods) adjacent to the sanctuary!

Tidmarsh is thrilled to offer Mass Audubon's Science for Solutions program for a second year! This fall, Plymouth high school students will start participating in hands-on field experiences and learn about the important—and fragile—nature of wetland ecosystems and watersheds. 

Whether you're a parent looking for family activities after camp is over, or an adult who just wants to take a break and re-connect with nature, Tidmarsh has programs to suit all interests and ages!

Congratulations (and many, many thanks) to all who helped Mass Audubon successfully complete the purchase of 450+/- acres of land in the Manomet section of Plymouth that will soon become our newest wildlife sanctuary—Tidmarsh Wildlife Sanctuary!
