Bird Street Conservation Land is a 123-acre open space area located in Stoughton MA, known for hiking, biking, birdwatching, and fishing. It is part of Stoughton’s larger Memorial Conservation Land totaling 675-acres. We will walk a 3-mile trail with vernal pools, mixed forest and rock walls. Additionally we will learn about geocaching and attempt to locate one from a series focused on birds. Also on the Conservation land can be found open fields, blueberry patches, quarries, a pump house, ponds and a children’s play area. The property is managed by the Stoughton Conservation Commission, with the help of volunteers and partner organizations. They work to preserve the natural and scenic values of the land while providing public access and education.

Our guide, Ellenor Simmons, brings 32 years of state parks experience to TRWA as a former Southcoast Field Operations Team Leader and park supervisor with the MA Department of Conservation and Recreation. In her retirement, she enjoys leading walks and volunteering with our Diamondback Terrapin Population Research Project
