Pawtucket Farm Wildlife Sanctuary

Plan Your Visit

Pawtucket Farm provides more than 20 acres of outdoor trails, farm fields, and wildlife habitat in the midst of the City of Lowell. A former Christmas tree farm, this wildlife sanctuary is in transition as we restore the landscape to a mix of agricultural crops, native trees, shrubs, perennials, and grasses. Thanks to a partnership between Mass Audubon, Lowell Parks & Conservation Trust, and Mill City Grows, our agricultural growing space, community garden, and educational programs are taking shape. Check back for more information on farm and nature programs in future seasons.
