Bring the whole family to our third annual Walk for the Wild (WFTW), a 5k walk through nature and trails of the Mashpee National Wildlife Refuge. The 2024 WFTW will be held on Sunday, October 13th, from 11am to 1pm, with a celebration event at Naukabout Brewery until 4pm. Our route this year will begin at the Quashnet Middle School in Mashpee and traverse a variety of trails through the Quashnet Woodlands, Johns Pond Conservation Area and Makepeace Wildlife Sanctuary. It will end with a family celebration at Naukabout Brewery by Attaquin Park at Mashpee Pond, featuring beverage sales, raffles, kids crafts and more!
