A Nature Year at Wachusett Meadow: Winter Series

Sunday, January 17, 2027 · 10:00 AM

Wachusett Meadow Wildlife Sanctuary — 113 Goodnow Rd., Princeton, MA

Wachusett Meadow winters seem quiet at first glance but take a closer look and you'll see signs of activity all around. January follows tracks and signs through the snow to work out who is moving where, and why. February turns to winter tree identification, when bark, buds, and silhouettes provide important ID clues. March closes the season with the dazzling courtship flight of the American Woodcock, one of the first signs of spring in New England. Led by our expert naturalists, each session begins with a brief indoor introduction before spending at least 90 minutes actively exploring the trails and habitats of the sanctuary. Sessions run rain or shine and cover varied terrain. More details on what to bring and expect will be emailed to you ahead of the program.
