North River Wildlife Sanctuary

North River Wildlife Sanctuary encompasses 225 acres of land featuring oak forests, salt marshes, fields, and two miles of walking paths along the riverbank.

The sanctuary land played a central role in the North River shipbuilding industry from 1690 to 1870, using local tree species for vessel construction.

The Mass Audubon Society manages educational programs at the nature center, teaching visitors about local ecosystems and environmental conservation methods.

The sanctuary opens daily from sunrise to sunset, charging entrance fees of 4 dollars for adults and 3 dollars for seniors and children aged 2-12.

A universally accessible sensory trail extends through wet maple forests, leading to an observation platform where visitors spot harbor seals and water birds.
