Habitat Site Walk

MassWildlife will hold a Habitat Site Walk at the Mill Brook Bogs Wildlife Management Area on Howland Road in Freetown and Assonet on October 13^th from 10 am to noon.

This fall, MassWildlife is holding a series of Habitat Site Walks on Wildlife Management Areas across the Commonwealth to let the public hear from habitat specialists and to view habitat restoration in action on MassWildlife lands.

MassWildlife and the Division of Ecological Restoration are partnering on a combined wetland and upland restoration project at Mill Brook Bogs. The woodland restoration has begun, providing both important upland habitat and the native woody material which will be used in restoring the cranberry bog to a native wetland system.

MassWildlife’s management activities are focused on declining habitat types that provide homes—food, cover, and space—for the state’s most common and most rare animals and plants. The goal is to create and maintain native grasslands, shrublands, vibrant young forests, woodlands, and dedicated forest reserves.

Habitat site walks will demonstrate a range of habitat types. Please dress for the weather and wear sturdy shoes for walking. Site walks will be held rain or shine, but will be cancelled or cut short if there is thunder and lightning.
