Take a Walk on the Wild Side: Parker River Wildlife Refuge

Explore Parker River Wildlife Sanctuary with your family and Mass Audubon!

Adults and children can spend quality family time in the great outdoors finding, observing, and admiring local wildlife. Each program begins at Joppa Flats Education Center with a brief introduction to our theme via slide shows, group activities, or an in-class demonstration.

This outdoor exploration begins with a group game to burn off some steam, followed by eye-opening experiences in our natural neighborhood. We'll observe, investigate, and compare wild inhabitants, their adaptations, and the changes these organisms undergo seasonally. Participants play out the roles of geologists, birders, botanists, and biologists in all the habitats. Each wild walk will leave your family excited to come back for more!

  • Suitable for children 7 - 12 years
  • Meet at the Joppa Flats Education Center.

  • In the event of cold, heavy rain or the threat of thunderstorms, this event will be postponed.
