MassWildlife to Host Migratory Bird Walk at Stafford Hill WMA

03:47PM / Thursday, June 05, 2025

CHESHIRE, Mass. — MassWildlife will host a guided migratory bird walk at Stafford Hill Wildlife Management Area (WMA) in Cheshire Saturday, June 7, from 8:00 AM to 10:00 AM.

The event is a one-mile guided walk led by MassWildlife experts. Participants will learn about birds and their habitat requirements for courtship, nesting, and raising their young.

Stafford Hill WMA features open shrublands, grasslands, forests, and wetlands, supporting a diversity of wildlife.

The area is actively managed by MassWildlife to enhance habitats, including the management of old apple trees for fruit production, annual mowing of fields for grassland habitat and upland bird cover, and periodic cuts in wooded areas to maintain various forest ages. This site is noted for birding and supports bird species that require young, regenerating forests, as well as uncommon plants and invertebrates.
