Norman Bird Sanctuary, Protected nature area in Middletown, Rhode Island, United States.
Norman Bird Sanctuary extends across 325 acres of land, featuring varied ecosystems including hay fields, woodlands, ridges, and ponds near the Atlantic Ocean.
The sanctuary originated from a 1949 bequest by Mabel Norman Cerio, transforming a historical farm property dating back to the early 18th century.
The environmental education center conducts over 100 annual programs focusing on wildlife conservation and nature education for the local community.
Located at 583 Third Beach Road, the sanctuary maintains seven miles of hiking trails with admission fees ranging from 3 to 7 dollars.
