Mass Audubon Wachusett Meadow Wildlife Sanctuary operates from Princeton, Massachusetts as part of the statewide Mass Audubon conservation network. The 1,100-acre sanctuary maintains hiking trails, educational facilities, and protected habitats for native New England species. Programming includes guided nature walks, wildlife monitoring projects, and seasonal naturalist workshops throughout the sanctuary grounds. The sanctuary's signature Starlight and S'mores program combines astronomical observation with outdoor skills development in a natural setting. Participants use provided telescopes and binoculars to study constellations and celestial objects while learning campfire safety and wilderness appreciation. The program runs year-round with activities adapted for each season's unique viewing conditions and wildlife activity patterns. Mass Audubon Wachusett Meadow maintains a professional staff of sanctuary managers, environmental educators, and research scientists. The sanctuary offers employment across multiple disciplines including visitor services, habitat conservation, and scientific monitoring programs. Staff positions range from entry-level seasonal roles to full-time sanctuary management opportunities based at the Princeton location.
