What to know before you go

Just getting started? Get some great tips for beginning birdwatchers (and other wildlife observers) from the MA Division of Fisheries and Wildlife here.
Keep safety in mind. Preparation is crucial any time you're heading into the woods, even for comparatively "passive" recreation. Cell service is inconsistent in the Berkshires' hilly terrain, and weather can change quickly. Use this National Park Service article as a checklist, and download maps before you go.
