This is an easy one since I need no pictures or fancy stuff like Mark does so just go to the link for Moose Hill. http://www.massaudubon.org/Nature_Connection/Sanctuaries/Moose_Hill/index.php and take a look.

I will say this place is a personal favorite and is a 2,000 acre system with 25 miles of marked trails and probably another 15 miles of unmarked trails. The area also is connected to another 1,000 or so acres that are not part of Moose Hill yet still have many trails. These you just have to explore.

This is an Audubon facility so there are restrictions and their web site lists them. There is a Audubon center on site with a parking lot and all the trail maps you’d want. Classes are constantly being conducted on a variety of nature related topics and special events are a constant. This is a top of the line facility. There is also a small fee but it is the honor system so if you have no honor don’t pay. I’m a member so I have privileges.

I went for a jog today at Moose Hill and saw several wild birds especially wild turkeys (not the stuff Mark drinks) but the real ones. Saw a fox but she was with her husband – no…just kidding…a real one with the kind of tail that would be quite decorative on my car antenna.

Moose Hill is right off I-95 just take the Main St. Sharon exit and follow the signs.
