There's a Lot to Look Forward to In 2017!

Woodcock

Winter is a season of renewal and discovery and we love stepping outside to view tracks visible in the snow, watching visiting winter ducks and making the most of the season clearing our newest trail at Stone Barn Farm. There's plenty of activity going on at Allens Pond and Great Neck and you're invited to stop by and enjoy it!

We hope to see you soon, whether at a program, out on the trails, or stopping in at the field station. Our wildlife sightings board is chock-full and we'd love to see what you discover on your next visit!


Why Did the Salamander Cross the Road?

To get to Herpetology Field School at Stone Barn Farm!

We're excited to be offering Herpetology Field Exploration—the first session of our new Let's Go! Field School Series—on Saturday, May 6, at Stone Barn Farm.

During this full-day program, you'll explore our vernal pool, wetland, and woodland environments with experts from Allens Pond and Long Pasture. You'll also meet some live animals and learn more about their specific life cycles and habitat needs with program partners from Bristol County Agricultural High School.

Space is limited to 15 adults. Learn more & register >
