Eastern Cottontail Rabbits have proliferated this year at the Meadow.Raised-Lettering on signs, as well as an audio informational program available at the visitors center, allow the visually impaired to more fully experience the meadow along the All Persons Trail.The North Meadow is a popular easy hiking area.Cattails in the North Meadow are vivid harbingers of fall. A section of the All Persons Trail leads to the South Meadow.Bas relief sculptures aid in identifying tree and barn swallows.Visitors to the All Persons Trail can greet Wachusett’s endearing sheep on the way to the South Meadow……and then continue on to a sunny resting spot .
Thanks for the thoughtful comment, Jet. It is surely a place all can enjoy. The adirondack chairs will soon be updated to chairs, that, while looking very “adirondack”, are higher, with flatter seats, allowing for those who struggle physically to sit and stand more easily when using them. Pretty neat, I think!
I always enjoy your “visits”, and look forward to all the awesome West Coast nature that you share with us.
Best,
Julie
This looks like a beautiful walk, Julie. I’m particularly impressed by the rich hues of green. Colorado rarely looks this verdant, especially at this time of year.
Thank you. Let’s see; there are 12 miles of trails there, and it is connected to the Wachusett Mt., 2005 ft elevation. For hardy folks like yourselves, that might be just a before breakfast jaunt. 😉 And to make it even easier, the black flies are mostly not a problem down this way….
Cheers,
Julie
It’s great to see this celebration of prairie and meadow, Julie, and the invitation for all persons to enjoy it. Thanks for the wonderful photos.

A lovely and soothing spot by the looks of it. I need to plan a visit!
I bet you’d love it, Eliza!
Nothing like the change from summer to fall in the meadows. Hope to get back to our meadow soon. Have a good evening. Allan
I hope you have a good evening, as well, Allan. Fall is my favorite time of year, so I’m enjoying every bit of this time.
Cheers,
Julie
Nature is showing off in these photos and I LOVE it! Such a beautiful place.
I’m glad you enjoyed my photos. I feel lucky to have this place just down the road. Wishing you a good week!

I hope you have a good week also!
The All Persons help for people with impaired sight is an excellent idea
The Audubons in Massachusetts are making a huge effort to welcome diverse populations. It’s quite an undertaking!

Looks so peaceful and scenic.
