Pierpont Meadow Wildlife Sanctuary — Marsh Rd., Dudley, MA
Winter evenings arrive early, offering opportunities to stargaze without betraying bedtime. Head out at dusk and explore the sanctuary as it settles into nightfall, listening for the sounds of nocturnal animals awakening around you and learning about the unique qualities that help them thrive in the dark. Look through a telescope to discover the stars and constellations overhead while a naturalist brings the winter sky to life. This is a rare chance to experience the sanctuary after the trails have closed for the day, taking in the natural world from a whole new angle. Meet at the parking lot. Bring closed-toe shoes and dress warmly for cold weather. Expect to travel up to mile over level trails with a few short moderate slopes. Trails may be wet or icy in winter. Bring a flashlight if you have one.
