Belmont's conservation landscape is one way to begin discovering the town. Rock Meadow brings together meadow, wetland, woodland, and community garden areas, offering a different perspective on Greater Boston from its denser urban districts.
Overview

- Compare the different commercial centers rather than treating Belmont as a single square.
- Visit Rock Meadow for conservation land and consult posted site rules.
- Plan Habitat sanctuary visits through Mass Audubon, including current admission and access information.
