Carroll Property Added to the Museum of American Bird Art at Mass Audubon

At the end of January, Mass Audubon received a donation from Bill Carroll and the Carroll Family of 2.73 acres of land next to the Museum of American Bird Art at Mass Audubon (MABA) in Canton, MA.

The new addition—called the Carroll Property—features a lovely series of rapids, or cascades, of Pequit Brook that runs along the Main Loop Trail. Most of the land is a vibrant red maple swamp teeming with various species of native plants and animals.

This donation of land will be added to MABA’s existing 121-acre wildlife sanctuary, which was established by the bequest of Mildred Morse Allen in 1989.

If you want to see this property for yourself, just take a walk on the Main Loop Trail at MABA! When you get to the rapids at Pequit Brook, look across and you will see the maple swamp of this property.  For additional information visit https://www.massaudubon.org/our-conservation-work/land-conservation/news-project-updates/success-stories/new-addition-at-maba
