At the Greenwich Audubon Center, we strive to connect people to nature and foster a lifelong appreciation for the environment. Our goal is to empower individuals to become informed conservationists, taking ownership of their role in preserving and restoring nature. We focus on birds, other wildlife, and their habitats in order to raise awareness of the importance of biodiversity and the need for conservation. Our center has been in operation since 1943, and we offer a variety of educational programs and activities for children, adults, and families. We also host community events and field trips, as well as guided bird walks and bird banding. Our 686-acre sanctuary provides a unique opportunity to observe birds in their natural habitats, and our knowledgeable staff and volunteers are always eager to share their enthusiasm and expertise.

Community Science

Community Science involves everyday individuals or groups volunteering to help scientists with their research, advance scientific knowledge, and solve real-world problems, particularly in the area of conservation. Just about anyone can be a Community Scientist—no formal science background is necessary. All it takes is an interest in nature and conservation, a little bit of training, and the willingness to volunteer some time. It is open to adults, and high school students motivate younger children of all skill levels, and is a great way to learn more about birds and other wildlife. Most importantly, Community Science contributes meaningful, real-time trend data to Audubon and research scientists on the health of birds, other wildlife, and their habitats.
