A Nature Year at Drumlin Farm and Broadmoor

Immerse yourself in a full year of local natural history. Every month brings something worth stepping outside for, and this series is designed to make sure you don't miss a single one. Rotating between Drumlin Farm and Broadmoor wildlife sanctuaries, a Mass Audubon naturalist will guide you through a full calendar of seasonal phenomena.

Each session begins with a brief introduction before heading out for at least 90 minutes in the field, exploring diverse habitats as you form community with other adult nature enthusiasts. By the end of the year, you'll be equipped with the knowledge to see the natural world in a richer light. There might be an occasional change in timing or topic depending on what nature provides.
