Nashoba Brook Wildlife Sanctuary
This mostly wooded sanctuary
consists of two separate parcels
that are contiguous to a larger
complex of preserved land owned
by the Westford Conservation
Trust and the town of Westford.
Mass Audubon’s 43-acre Concord
Road section features a short trail
that loops through pine-oak and
wetland habitat and past Vine
Brook, a bog, and a pond. On the
second Nashoba Brook parcel, a
more extensive recreational trail
meanders among fields and forest
and along Nonset Brook.
