NSRWA Walking Club – UPDATED LOCATION
Burrage Pond WMA in Hanson
Saturday, February 14, 2026
10:00-11:30am

Join Walking Club Coordinator Steve French as we explore Burrage Pond Wildlife Management Area in Hanson on Saturday, February 14 from 10:00-11:30. Steve is a Field Teacher for Mass Audubon where he leads walks and presentations over much of southeast Massachusetts. In addition to his Mass Audubon activity, he leads monthly nature walks for the Hanson Library and helps with trail work for the Hanson Conservation Commission..

Burrage Pond WMA is a 2,000+ acre property located in the towns of Hanson and Halifax that is managed by Mass Wildlife. It consists of forests, ponds, swamps, wetlands, brooks and retired cranberry bogs. There are many miles of trails throughout the property and connections to conservations lands in both towns as well as a little know Mass Audubon protected parcel along Stump Brook. Burrage is home to a diverse set of wildlife including bird species that are less common in Massachusetts.

The walk will start from the main parking lot at the intersection of Pleasant St and Hawks Ave in Hanson. We will travel over flat cranberry roads and paths with no elevation changes. Please note that the recent snow has left many trails uneven so wear appropriate winter footwear.

While we love dogs. NSRWA’s walks are dog-free in consideration for all participants. Please leave your furry loved ones at home.

Directions: Parking is available at the main parking lot at the intersection of Pleasant St and Hawks Ave in Hanson (across from 413 Pleasant St). Look for the NSRWA Event sign.
