At this time of year Broadmoor's red maples and poplars are blooming, birds are nesting, and a walker enjoying the 9 miles of trails might spot beavers at work on their dam. Just 13 miles from Boston's city limits, this 608-acre sanctuary features trails that go down to the Charles River, a 110-foot bridge spanning Indian Brook (reportedly a great place to observe wildlife), and the remains of a gristmill and sawmill. The Massachusetts Audubon Society keeps Broadmoor, one of its 18 sanctuaries, open year-round for the public's enjoyment but please, only walking is allowed for the safety of visitors and nature. A sign asks: "Please no dogs, fires, hunting, firearms, trapping, collecting, vehicles, bicycles, jogging, alcoholic beverages or picnicking." Nearly 21,000 visitors pass through the sanctuary's nature center each year (where they are asked to check in) before exploring the wooded paths. Sunday between 1-5 p.m.

is the busiest time at Broadmoor, with Saturday seeing one-third fewer visitors. At the solar-heated nature center, visitors will find brochures and information on educational programs walks, lectures, canoe trips offered at Broadmoor and around the state by the Audubon Society. Getting there Broadmoor Wildlife Sanctuary is located at 280 Eliot St (Route 16) in Natick. From Route 9, take Route 16 in Wellesley Hills to Natick, about a 5-mile drive. Exit 16 off the Massachusetts Turnpike also puts the traveler on Route 16.

The station also employs another strategy summed up in then-slogan: "The only station in Boston that really rocks." Station management hopes to attract listeners by playing more rock 'n' roll and less talk, which its studies show annoys listeners. WAAF spent more than $100,000 last year on research. Listeners want the information but not the extraneous conversation, Valeri said.

"You only talk too much in a listener's mind when you carry on with something that's not germane to their life," he said.
