A wildlife refuge, NBS encompasses over 300 acres and seven miles of trails that wind through hay fields and woodlands, and along four ridges with spectacular views of the surrounding ocean and ponds. Their educational programs are designed to introduce children to the great outdoors; to help teachers supplement their own science, history, and art curricula; and to engage advanced learners in the principles of ecology, wildlife biology, and species conservation.
