As autumn settles over Weymouth, Massachusetts, more than 2,000 candlelit pumpkins will transform a woodland trail into a glowing celebration of wildlife, and the people who care for it. The New England Wildlife Center’s annual Night of a Thousand Faces is also a fundraiser for the center’s wildlife veterinary hospitals and education programs in Weymouth and Barnstable, giving the festive evening a purpose that reaches beyond the trail.
