High Ledges Wildlife Sanctuary

The High Ledges Wildlife Sanctuary spans 587 acres across the northern section of Massaemett Mountain, featuring dense forests and diverse wetland ecosystems.

The Massachusetts Audubon Society established this protected sanctuary in 1970, marking a significant step in regional wildlife conservation efforts.

The sanctuary functions as an educational center where visitors learn about local ecosystems through interpretative signs and guided nature programs.

Visitors can access 5 miles of hiking trails throughout the sanctuary, with designated parking areas available near the main entrance point.

From the sanctuary's elevated position, observers can view both the village of Shelburne Falls and Mount Greylock in the distance.
