Laughing Brook Wildlife Sanctuary — 789 Main St., Hampden, MA
Join Tom Lautzenheiser, Mass Audubon Senior Conservation Ecologist, and Patti Steinman, Senior Teacher Naturalist, for a guided walk exploring Laughing Brook's changing landscape and upcoming stewardship plans. Learn how floodplain restoration sustains this landscape, home to many species of conservation concern, and how forest management helps us create and sustain unique habitat types like pitch pine-oak heathlands. This free program is part of an ongoing series about habitat management at Laughing Brook Wildlife Sanctuary made possible by grant funding and private donations. Dress for the weather and be prepared to walk up to two miles on the trails.
