Who We Are

Wachusett Meadow is a former farmstead that offers spectacular scenery and supports abundant wildlife throughout woodlands, wetlands, and meadows. Historic buildings and barns are still in use for educational programming and resident sheep graze pastures. Trails traverse many landscape features including Brown Hill Summit, Glacial Boulder, ancient trees, and beaver ponds.

What We Do

Wachusett Meadow offers a variety of volunteer opportunities for people of all interests and experience levels. Register as an individual for the drop-in volunteer opportunities we have posted on the volunteer portal (scroll down to "Place Opportunities" to see them). If you have any questions, please email wachusett@massaudubon.org.  

Are you a school group, corporate group, club group, or other large group looking to volunteer? We are capable of accommodating groups of volunteers usually limited to 15 people at a time, but open to discussion! Typical projects are invasive plant removal, trail maintenance, and gardening. Please reach out to Cindy Dunn cdunn@massaudubon.org with information about the size of your group, dates you are looking to volunteer, and the type of opportunity you're interested in.
