Come join us on Sunday, June 1, 2025, for a fun and relaxed day of birdwatching at Wolbach Farm!
Whether you’re a seasoned birding pro or a curious beginner, this event is for everyone. A “Big Sit” is all about enjoying the beauty of nature as we stay in one spot and count the bird species passing through the landscape throughout the day.
The event will take place in two sessions:
Throughout the day, passionate birdwatchers from amazing groups like the Boston Birding Festival and the Boxborough Birders will be stationed at the Wolbach Farms barn, keeping track of the birds that are foraging, displaying, and nesting in the fields around us.
We’ll have binoculars, field guides, and plenty of snacks and refreshments available for everyone. So, grab a spot, settle in with your binoculars, and be part of this exciting community birdwatching experience!
Free!
SVT’s mission is to protect natural areas and farmland for use by all people and wildlife in the 36 communities that surround the Sudbury, Assabet, and Concord Rivers. Diversity is fundamental to the health and resilience of both human society and ecological landscapes.
We care for some of this region’s most important forests, wetlands, and grasslands—natural areas that support wildlife habitat, working farms, and recreational trails. As of February 2025, SVT cares for more than 5,900 acres in 95 SVT-Owned Conservation Areas and 100 Conservation Restrictions, and we have protected more than 70 miles of trails. Since our inception, we have assisted other organizations and governmental agencies in protecting an additional 3,000 acres in the region.
Boxborough Birders is an enthusiastic group of bird watchers from Boxborough, Massachusetts, and nearby towns, including Acton, Harvard, Stow, and Littleton. The group focuses primarily on local “patches” (habitats) in studying and learning about resident and migratory bird species.
The group organizes walks throughout the year, especially during spring and fall migration, and members post their observations (and often photos) from each scheduled walk to eBird as well as share lists with group members via the Boxborough Birders Google group. In the winter, Boxborough Birders participate in the annual Audubon Christmas Bird Count as part of the Concord circle.
New members are welcome.
