Activities
The North Attleboro National Fish Hatchery is proud to showcase our native plant garden, nature trail, and fishing pond within the station property. Designed and planted in 2010, the gardens use naturescapes principles – all of which you can use in your own gardens at home.
We encourage visitors to spend time in the gardens, enjoying their beauty and learning more about the value and importance of native plants, in particular the role and connection they have with pollinators. Pollinators, such as most bees and some birds, bats, and other insects, play a crucial role in flowering plant reproduction and in the production of most fruits and vegetables.
Trails
The North Attleboro National Fish Hatchery nature trail is an 0.8 mile lightly traveled loop that provides great views of the Bungay River and local wildlife.
