Visit Lost Farm Wildlife Sanctuary to experience a different view of Nantucket. 

Escape the beach crowds and appreciate the sights and sounds of the island's largest pitch pine forest. Listen for the songs of Pine Warblers, Eastern Towhees, and Black-capped Chickadees in the morning and Barn and Saw-whet owls at dusk. Enjoy a stroll to Hummock Pond where many feathered friends await your arrival. 

If you yearn for shade on a hot summer day or a break from the Nantucket winds, then this is the place for your next adventure! 

• The largest pitch pine forest on Nantucket, which serves as an important breeding and foraging habitat for mammals and birds.
