About this organization
Mission
The Connecticut Audubon Society conserves Connecticut’s environment through science-based education and advocacy focused on the state’s bird populations and habitats. Founded in 1898, Connecticut Audubon operates nature facilities in Fairfield, Milford, Glastonbury, Pomfret, Hampton, and Sherman, a center in Old Lyme, and an EcoTravel office in Essex. Working exclusively in the state of Connecticut for over 120 years, Connecticut Audubon manages 20 wildlife sanctuaries, preserves 3,300 acres of open space, and educates over 100,000 children and adults annually through our Science in Nature education program, which works with Connecticut schools, and through programming we offer to the public at our centers. We are an independent organization, not affiliated with any national or governmental group. The Connecticut Audubon Society’s scientists, educators, citizen scientists, and volunteers preserve birds and their environments in Connecticut. We advocate for sanctuary management, provide environmental education and activities at our Centers, and publish our annual Connecticut State of the Birds report. Leveraging the captivating appeal of birds, we use our nature centers, education programs, weekend walks and workshops, and advocacy campaigns to connect and engage the state’s children, families, and residents with the natural world around them. Our goal, through experiential learning, is for every child in the state to appreciate the tangible values nature provides to their inherent health, intellectual growth, and our society. Connecticut Audubon serves as a portal to nature and the outdoors, helping to build in this generation and the next, appreciation for the environment and awareness of importance of conservation and sustainability. We advocate for public policies and actions to bring Connecticut to the forefront conservation and sustainability in the nation.
