A Nature Year at Drumlin Farm and Broadmoor: Spring Series

Immerse yourself in a season of local natural history! With a Mass Audubon naturalist as your guide, experience the cycle of the season at Drumlin Farm and Broadmoor. Gain extensive natural history knowledge--all while receiving the many benefits of spending time outdoors.

Each month, you will focus on a special topic, natural community, or seasonal phenomenon. In this spring series, you'll delve into the science and history behind maple sugaring, explore vernal pools for the unique species that rely on their ephemeral environments, and search the forest for spring ephemerals as plants awaken from their winter slumbers.

We will usually start inside with an introduction and then head out for our adventure in the field which will be at least 90 minutes outside. We'll travel mainly on trails and boardwalks, actively exploring and experiencing various habitats and sanctuary spots. There might be an occasional change in timing or topic depending on what nature provides.
