Mass Audubon works to protect the nature of Massachusetts for people and wildlife. Together with more than 100,000 members, we care for 34,000 acres of conservation land, provide educational programs for 225,000 children and adults annually, and advocate for sound environmental policies at local, state, and federal levels. Mass Audubon's mission and actions have expanded since our beginning in 1896 when our founders set out to stop the slaughter of birds for use on women's fashions. Today we are the largest conservation organization in New England. Our statewide network of wildlife sanctuaries, in 90 Massachusetts communities, welcomes visitors of all ages and serves as the base for our work. To support these important efforts, call 800-AUDUBON (283-8266) or visit www.massaudubon.org.

Mass Audubon members play a very important role in our wildlife and habitat protection efforts, which have helped restore bluebird, barn owl, osprey and bald eagle populations in the state. Our wildlife sanctuaries provide people with much-needed places for recreation and relaxation, and a home for more than 150 endangered and threatened native species. Members also enjoy many benefits and privileges, including free admission to our statewide network of wildlife sanctuaries, exclusive discounts on exciting programs and classes, savings on gift shop purchases, and free one-year subscriptions to Sanctuary magazine and Connections member newsletter.
