Norcross Wildlife Sanctuary

Founded by Arthur Norcross in 1939, the 8,000 acre wildlife refuge was established to preserve, protect and propagate native flora and fauna.

[1][2] The refuge is part of the Norcross Wildlife Foundation, which awards loans and grants, and has helped preserve over 33,000 acres since 1939.

[3] Much of the refuge is part of the Quinebaug Highlands,[4] which in turn is part of the Eastern New England Uplift.

The sanctuary has 2.5 miles of trails.

[5] The refuge offers programs throughout the year.
