BROAD MEADOW BROOK SANCTUARY LETTERBOX:
WORCESTER, MASSACHUSETTS
Planted: May 14, 2003
Length: Five to ten minute walk.
Difficulty: Easy. Well maintained nature trails.
Directions:
Take exit 11 off of I-90 and turn left onto Route 122 North and take to Route 20 West. Turn right at the first traffic light onto Massasoit Road. The Sanctuary and Visitors Center is just a 1/2 mile up this road on your left.
Located in the second largest city in Massachusetts and encompassing over 400 acres, the Broad Meadow Brook Conservation Center and Wildlife Sanctuary is part of the Mass Audubon's statewide system of wildlife sanctuaries. It also serves as a visitor center of the Blackstone River Valley National Heritage Corridor. This is a special type of National Park. It is a region that covers nearly 400,000 acres located from Worcester County in Massachusetts down to Providence County in Rhode Island. The federal government does not own or manage the land, instead, along with the two state governments, local municipalities, businesses and local organizations, such as Mass Audubon, they work to protect the valley's special identity.
For more information visit www.massaudubon.org Trails are open dawn to dusk daily.
The visitor center houses a reception area with program and trail information, rest rooms, an environmental resource center, and nature related books and gifts. There is also a sign board out front with trail maps and information. To find the Letterbox, go to the rear of the center where the trails start. Head down the Holdredge Trail where you'll pass by educational trail signs and benches along the way. When you come to the bottom of the hill, the trail splits onto two boardwalks. There is another signboard here. The left boardwalk takes you along the Frog Pond Trail, but stay straight on the Holdredge Trail. You'll pass by the Sedge Marsh Overlook Trail on your left and soon pass through a stone wall. This stone wall is just before another signboard and before the trail crosses over Broad Meadow Brook. Where the trail passes through this stone wall, look to your right and you'll see a gap in the wall. You'll notice 2 logs on the ground. Go to the first log and check out its backside. Behind a rock is the Broad Meadow Brook Letterbox. After you cross over the Brook, which consists of a "rock bridge", you'll come to another trail intersection. Left will bring you down the Enchanted Forest Trail or you may continue straight for many other trail options. Be sure to pick up a map before setting out as there are trails of many varying lengths.
