Broad Meadow Brook Conservation Center & Wildlife Sanctuary, Worcester

We had a few hours to occupy while our dog was having surgery at Tufts. We found this conversation & wildlife center and checked it out. This is a terrific place to take a walk in nature. There’s plenty of parking and there’s a visitor center. The trails are well maintained and the walking is pretty easy… no hills to speak of. They have trail maps and there’s maps posted along the way. We saw quite a few birds of different species. It was a very relaxing enjoyable time. Besides that it serves a great purpose.

Beautiful grounds, trails and lovely helpful staff. Great place for communing with nature 😊

Established in 1990, it s located in the headwater region of the Blackstone River Watershed. It boasts to be the largest urban wildlife sanctuary in New England. You can do bird watching, bird photography, picnic, kids play , trails. There are wooden benches to sit and relax on the way. In the nature play area, the wooden swing is placed right at the location that gives you a feel as if you are in your private garden. On the Saturday afternoon of May, it had good number of visitors but the calmness prevailed. Parking is limited but seems to be sufficient.

Lovely well maintained preserve. Nice gift store and cool model of the preserve in the welcome center. Good educational signs. Also a very neat turtle named Clem.

Went here this past Monday and loved it. Well I loved what I saw which was a all percentage of the whole area. Spent a load of time at the frog pond trying to get some decent photos. The frogs were all around and didn't mind being photographed. Probably saw like 7 or so. Unfortunately that's all I saw that I couldn't see in my backyard(besides some mushrooms) but that's because we only stayed a couple hours as we wanted to go get a bite to eat. That means there is much more to explore for me and I look forward to going back soon to explore the other areas left unexplored which is probably like 70 percent of the place. Deff reccomend this place as it's so peaceful within the city. It's like an alternative universe. Look forward to returning!
