Since acquiring our first property in 1922, Mass Audubon’s efforts have resulted in a system of wildlife sanctuaries that is now the largest private ownership of conserved land in Massachusetts.

Mass Audubon acquires land, or rights to land, for the protection of wildlife habitat and for places for people to enjoy nature by:

• Receiving land as gifts and bequests
• Raising money to buy land—often at bargain prices
• Partnering with other conservation organizations and government agencies to protect areas of mutual importance
• Providing technical expertise to other conservation organizations
  

We owe our success to the generosity of those who support our work and to private landowners who have chosen to work with us and preserve one of their most precious assets—their land.
