From the Big World of Small World Experiences

Mass Audubon is the largest private owner of conserved land in the state. We currently protect nearly 35,000 acres and are actively working to protect additional high priority, ecologically significant, land across Massachusetts for the benefit of wildlife and people.

Mass Audubon acquires land, or rights to land 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

Watch this video for a brief summary about Land Protection at Mass Audubon.
