Welcome to 2026, everyone! This first weekend of the new year brings us the first full moon, too. Join us across Massachusetts to revel in the beauty of another year at The Trustees. 

The Wolf Moon will shine its light on Massachusetts this weekend! At the Crane Estate in Ipswich, take in the Dunes by the light of the Full Moon with CraneOutdoors, or opt for the family-friendly CraneExplorers option. Take part in a Full Moon Owl Prowl at Lyman Reserve in Bourne, Plymouth and Wareham. Learn how to identify owls by their calls, where to find them, and the incredible adaptations that allow them to hunt successfully at night. At Notchview in Windsor, enjoy recent snowfall and take a Full Moon Snowshoe Hike with our partners at Adventure East. And at deCordova Sculpture Park and Museum in Lincoln, bring your family and friends to see the famous sculptures transformed by the moonlight on a special after-hours tour. 

There are many tours and walks to take this weekend, from learning about the history of the Old Manse in Concord, to exploring the grounds of Castle Hill in Ipswich, or enjoying the Winter Wildlife of the Crane Estate. You can find your perfect tour here. 

Haven’t made it to Winterlights yet? Don’t fret! Winterlights celebrates its last weekend of the season, happening at the Bradley Estate in Canton and Naumkeag in Stockbridge.
