High Ridge Wildlife Management Area is 1040 acres of meadows, grasslands, forests and wetlands that make great habitats for migrating warblers, ducks, herons, rails and other locally-breeding birds. We will walk about 3 miles on dirt paths and once-paved roads with a few hills of about 50 feet of elevation difference.
Please note: no restroom facilities. Bring snacks and water.
Meet in the dirt parking lot of the Smith Street entrance, which can be found off Rte. 140 in Gardner, half a mile south of the 101/140 intersection.
