Mission: To protect the nature of Massachusetts for people and for wildlife.
Mass Audubon is the largest nature-based conservation organization in New England.
Founded in 1896 by two women who fought for the protection of birds, Mass Audubon carries on their legacy by focusing on the greatest challenges facing the environment today: the loss of biodiversity, inequitable access to nature, and climate change.
With the help of our 160,000 members and supporters, we protect wildlife, conserve and restore
resilient land, advocate for impactful environmental policies, offer nationally recognized education
programs for adults and children, and provide endless opportunities to experience the outdoors at
our wildlife sanctuaries.
Explore, find inspiration, and take action at massaudubon.org.
We welcome the opportunity to provide programming to community partners who are interested in engaging with Mass Audubon. We will deliver programs that are inclusive and culturally appropriate that will be co-created in collaboration with the community partners to ensure they center community priorities. Please reach out anytime!

Working with any grade, PK-12, these multi-week programs will focus on community-based environmental education on that promotes pride in self and community, connects youth to natural resources in their city, and builds relationships with adult mentors in the community who are conservation leaders.
