About this organization
Mission
The mission of Mass Audubon is to protect the nature of Massachusetts for people and for wildlife. We serve as a leader and a catalyst for conservation, by acting directly to protect the nature of Massachusetts and by stimulating individual and institutional action through conservation, education, and advocacy.
About
Environmental education and wildlife sanctuary stewardship: Mass Audubon maintains 25 field offices and staffed wildlife sanctuaries (including 20 sanctuaries with nature centers) and an additional 35 unstaffed wildlife sanctuaries which are prepared for public visitation. Mass Audubon sanctuaries serve as the base for nature and environmental education courses and programs, scientific research, ecological management and other conservation-related activities. As of June 30, 2019, Mass Audubon protected 38,211 acres of open space in Massachusetts, owning 32,221 acres in fee and protecting the remainder with conservation easements. These diverse protected habitats range from the Berkshires to Cape Cod and the islands and help preserve the biodiversity of Massachusetts. Mass Audubon actively pursues donations and purchases of additional conservation land and is one of the largest conservation landowners in the commonwealth. An estimated 510,000 visitors came to enjoy Mass Audubon properties in FY 2019. Mass Audubon is the largest non-governmental provider of nature education in the state. Mass Audubon develops educational materials and environmental policy materials for students, teachers, legislators, and the general public. In FY 2019, Mass Audubon taught nature programs to more than 173,000 children and adults, enrolled more than 11,300 children in its summer day and residential nature camps, and conducted science/nature training for more than 1,000 teachers.
