Audubon Connecticut

Audubon Connecticut is dedicated to protecting birds and the natural places they depend on throughout Connecticut and the Western Hemisphere. As part of the National Audubon Society, the organization focuses on bird habitat conservation across diverse ecosystems including coasts, wetlands, grasslands, forests, and urban areas. Through science-based conservation work, community engagement, and habitat restoration initiatives, Audubon Connecticut works to halt and reverse the decline of vulnerable bird species such as the Piping Plover, American Kestrel, and Purple Martin. The organization operates multiple centers and sanctuaries throughout the state where visitors can experience nature, participate in community science projects, and learn about local bird populations. Audubon Connecticut invites the public to join their mission through membership, volunteering, donations, and participation in citizen science initiatives like the Christmas Bird Count and Great Backyard Bird Count.
