Mass Audubon has three wildlife sanctuaries in the Berkshires: Pleasant Valley in Lenox, Canoe Meadows in Pittsfield, and Lime Kiln Farm in Sheffield. These beautiful places feature scenic views, forests, fields, wetlands, and abundant wildlife. Here are five portraits of this region from past participants in our Photo Contest.
