Flat Rock Family Hike

Flat Rock Wildlife Sanctuary is part of a large, connected network of protected land that supports some of the most charismatic wildlife in Central Massachusetts. Plus, it's only minutes from downtown Fitchburg and reachable by bus. Fisher, coyote, and Red Fox are regular residents, with bobcat and Black Bear occasionally passing through as well. On this guided family walk, a Wachusett Meadow naturalist leads you through the birdsong and early fall landscape while watching for signs of these larger animals and pointing out the seasonal changes taking shape in the trees and understory. Please dress for the weather. Sunscreen, bug spray, and a hat are suggested. There are no bathroom facilities at this unstaffed site - please plan accordingly. Flat Rock Wildlife Sanctuary is accessible via bus route # 6 on the Fitchburg MART free fare bus
