Great Meadows National Wildlife Refuge
- Nature reserve
- Regional draw
- Concord Town
Great Meadows National Wildlife Refuge protects wetlands along the Concord and Sudbury rivers, with a Concord unit that offers a close look at marsh habitat.
Water, reeds and open views make this a rewarding place to watch birds and notice seasonal changes without travelling far from the town.
Use the refuge’s official maps to select the Concord unit or another designated visitor area; the protected land is distributed across several communities. Follow posted trail and wildlife rules and check current notices before setting out. The photograph shows a marsh landscape within the refuge, not a guarantee of particular wildlife sightings.
