Remember: Rainy days are a small price to pay for the incoming blooms, bird songs, and sunny skies of a beautiful New England spring.

Here’s what’s coming up:

Birding Basics: Field Trip

This field trip will be paced so that everyone has plenty of time to see the birds and to work through the identification process. This is a fantastic introduction to all of our spring birding programs!

Naturalist Walk

We’ll cover habitats across the sanctuary from wetlands to uplands as we look for amphibians, reptiles, mammals, flowering plants, trees, shrubs, lichens, fungi, insects, and birds.

Sourdough Breadmaking

Learn the age old tradition of sourdough bread making in this hands-on workshop. Practice each step of the bread making process as we mix, knead, and shape bakery-quality loaves to taste and take home.
