Description
Immerse yourself in a full year of local natural history. Every month, a skilled Mass Audubon naturalist will guide you through the fascinating seasonal phenomena happening right outside your door: monarch and bird migration, fall forests and fungi, owl season, vernal pools, spring wildflowers, fireflies, and butterflies and moths, and more. Each session begins indoors before heading out for at least 90 minutes of fieldwork outside, building natural history knowledge and a deep personal connection to our local landscapes and this distinctive wildlife sanctuary.
