Stony Brook Wildlife Sanctuary, Protected area in Norfolk, Massachusetts, US.

Stony Brook Wildlife Sanctuary is a protected area in Norfolk with forests, fields, and wetlands connected by a wooden boardwalk. Multiple natural habitats can be explored within this single location, giving visitors a chance to see different environments.

The sanctuary was founded in 1963 by the Massachusetts Audubon Society on a site where a former mill once operated at a waterfall. This marked a shift from industrial use to wildlife protection and habitat restoration.

The sanctuary serves as an educational center offering natural history exhibits, seasonal workshops, and guided bird walks for local communities.

Visitors can access trails during daylight hours year-round and should wear sturdy shoes since wet areas are common. The boardwalk provides a dry route through marshy sections, especially during wet seasons.

The site has electric vehicle charging stations and a butterfly garden beside Kingfisher Pond. These modern conveniences blend wildlife protection with practical visitor facilities in a natural setting.
