Mass Audubon's Wellfleet Bay Wildlife Sanctuary invites you to

FREE Discovery Day
Saturday, October 20, 10 a.m. - 3 p.m.
Celebrate the opening of the new Sensory Trail! The Goose Pond Trail includes our Robert R. Read All-Persons Pathway and the Sensory Trail, which increases accessibility to the Sanctuary for all visitors. Enjoy local food, live art, and free family activities. We invite you to relax with an autumn walk on our trails, bring a friend who is new to the sanctuary, and engage your family with fun, interactive activities - all for free!

10 a.m. - 3 p.m.
Sensory Exploration on the Trails
Discover nature through hands-on exhibits and education experiences on the trails that are designed to appeal to your senses of touch, taste, smell, and hearing. The aromatherapy formulator from Welstar Organics will be here to teach us how scents affect our mood and health. We'll be dip-netting in the marsh too!
