“Nature and wildlife are resilient, and we have the power to change the future for the next generation.” - Alyssa Giaquinto, Climate & Nature Champion with Mass Audubon's Rescue Raptors Campaign
“From hilltop to rocky headland, from forest to meadow, from farmstead to streamside, I saw things I’d never seen (or perhaps noticed) before in all my decades of rambling throughout the state.” - Andy Tolland, Mass Audubon Member of 30 Years
“[Volunteering] has helped us learn more about and feel connected to the natural complexity and interrelatedness of the world around us.” - Ellie and Chris Leigh-Manuell, father-daughter volunteer team at Drumlin Farm, Lincoln
“I love working with Mass Audubon, and I enjoy exploring the sanctuaries as a proud member. All the sanctuaries are great, but my favorite is Broadmoor Wildlife Sanctuary in Natick. It was the first wildlife sanctuary I ever visited, and I just love their trails.” - Michael Bryant, Photographer
“For my entire life, I have had a heart and passion for nature, the earth, and the environment...Volunteering helped with many important life skills I was working on, including listening, socializing, and co-working.” - Katie Catalano, MAPLE (Mass Audubon Accessible Program)
