Broadmoor Wildlife Refuge - Natick

Explore about 4 1/2 miles of Mass Audubon's wildlife sanctuary bordered by the Charles River and wetlands. "Well-groomed trails weave through the shade of mature woodlands into open fields and along the edges of vibrant streams, ponds, marshland, and Charles River". Mostly flat terrain, but some short stretches of uphill and somewhat rugged descent. Sturdy shoes or boots recommended as it is rocky and rooty in places. Bug repellent recommended as it can be buggy on warm humid days. Binoculars for birdwatchers. Expect the walk to be 2-2 1/2 hours.
Admission fee is $6; Seniors $4, Audubon members free.

• You are adults and are expected to make decisions about your own safety and physical abilities.

• Move to the side for oncoming walkers on narrow trails.
• If you decide to return to your car early or leave the group for any other reason, tell someone.
