After Exploring The Trails, Feed Hummingbirds At Dahl Wildlife Sanctuary In New Hampshire
The Dahl Wildlife Sanctuary is made up of 56 acres in the Conway region of New Hampshire. It’s a small sanctuary, but a mighty one, protecting important examples of Silver Maple, Sugar Maple, and White Ash floodplain forest.
A large portion of the sanctuary is floodplain forest. These wetlands are home to agriculturally rich soil which means they may have been irrigated or otherwise disturbed for farming use.
Under the sanctuary's protection the wetlands can be brought back to their natural wild state and the species that thrive in those environments can continue to.
During the hummingbird season (May-October, typically) you may also spot these beautiful creatures in the sanctuary. A little sugar water is the preferred treat of the hummingbirds.
Other highlights in the sanctuary include bluebirds, wood frogs, wildflowers, butterflies, owls, and many other creatures. They are all protected by the sanctuary and more broadly under the New Hampshire Audubon.
Feeding and watching the hummingbirds is a crowd favorite activity, but visitors can also leaf peep, snow shoe, and canoe along Saco Lake. From some points of elevation on the trails hikers can spot beautiful views of the surrounding mountains.
