Mass Audubon was founded in 1896 and has been protecting the nature of Massachusetts for more than 125 years. It is the largest nature-based conservation organization in New England and protects 43,000 acres of land across Massachusetts. Mass Audubon has 110 wildlife sanctuaries and partner properties, with more than half ready to be explored, and offers nationally recognized education programs for adults and children. Mass Audubon is focused on protecting and restoring resilient landscapes, providing inclusive and equitable access to nature, mobilizing to fight climate change, and protecting birds and wildlife. Mass Audubon advocates for impactful environmental policies and is advancing the principles of diversity, equity, inclusion, justice, and accessibility (DEIJA).
Mass Audubon’s innovative 30x30 Catalyst Fund is described as a creative conservation finance fund dedicated to land conservation and involved passionate town members, dedicated local and state partners, and Mass Audubon in enabling the state to take ownership of land in Winchendon and Ashburnham.
Testimonials from participants and members describe personal experiences with Mass Audubon. Alyssa Giaquinto, a Climate & Nature Champion with Mass Audubon’s Rescue Raptors Campaign, states, “Nature and wildlife are resilient, and we have the power to change the future for the next generation.” Longtime member Andy Tolland, a Mass Audubon member of 30 years, describes seeing things he had never seen before “from hilltop to rocky headland, from forest to meadow, from farmstead to streamside.” Father-daughter volunteer team Ellie and Chris Leigh-Manuell say that volunteering “has helped us learn more about and feel connected to the natural complexity and interrelatedness of the world around us.” Photographer Michael Bryant says, “I love working with Mass Audubon, and I enjoy exploring the sanctuaries as a proud member,” and names Broadmoor Wildlife Sanctuary in Natick as a favorite. Volunteer Katie Catalano with the MAPLE (Mass Audubon Accessible Program) program says that for her entire life she has had “a heart and passion for nature, the earth, and the environment,” and that volunteering helped with life skills including listening, socializing, and co-working.
