WHAT IS HUNT HILL?

Hunt Hill is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit nature

sanctuary supported by donations, memberships,

program attendance and grants. Donated to

National Audubon in the 1950’s and now run

locally by a dedicated group of volunteers known

as the Friends of Hunt Hill Audubon Sanctuary

(FOHHAS). With a free lease of the land from

Audubon, FOHHAS has been managing the

property since the 1980’s with an emphasis on

nature programs and camps for all ages. As a

nature sanctuary we encourage a ‘leave no trace’

approach to exploring and appreciating the

natural world.

WHAT CAN I DO AT HUNT HILL?

Our facility boasts 10 miles of hiking trails

through 400 acres of forest, meadow, glacial lakes

and bogs plus a main campus featuring

dormitories, library, barn dining hall and program

learning center. Guests can hike our trails; rent

our facilities for birthdays, weddings, family

reunions; attend programs; schedule school or

bus groups; and enjoy weekend retreats in our

rustic cabins.
