Lincoln Woods Wildlife Sanctuary — Union St., Leominster, MA
Get to know Lincoln Woods, an oasis of nature in the heart of Leominster, together with your family. The mature woodlands attract migrating birds looking for a place to rest. Plus, the sanctuary's vernal pools draw amphibians in large numbers in early spring for the mass migration known as Big Night. On this family hike, an experienced naturalist will walks the trails with you, pointing out the pools, the returning birds, and the signs of the turning season. You'll find out how animals thrive in a place like this, and how protecting even a small woodlot in a densely populated area keeps a migration route open. This program takes place and meets at Lincoln Woods Wildlife Sanctuary in Leominster. Expect to explore the 1-mile trail system, which ranges from level to short slopes with surfaces that are smooth to uneven. Portions of the trails may be wet after spring thaw or heavy rain. More details on what to bring and expect will be emailed to you ahead of the program.
