Mass Audubon is committed to protecting the nature of Massachusetts for people and wildlife. At Mass Audubon's Broad Meadow Brook Wildlife Sanctuary, programs serve people of all ages - from preschoolers and families to students and senior citizens. We team up with other local organizations to work with schools, scouts and community groups. For the past several years, we have been extremely involved in the Campaign for a Fishable and Swimmable BlackstoneRiver. On a statewide basis Mass Audubon strives to 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.
