Dear Members and Friends,

As another year comes to a close, we are once again pleased to thank you—our wonderful members, donors, volunteers, and visitors—for your steadfast support.  We continue to have significant success in our efforts to protect the nature of Massachusetts—by preserving and managing land, inspiring people of all ages to learn about and enjoy nature, and encouraging government to act to protect the environment and ensure clean water and air and healthy communities now and for future generations.  

When we reflect on our achievements and consider our work across the state, especially in the context of daunting challenges here and elsewhere, we find our values to be a source of strength and resolve for the organization. 

This year Mass Audubon marked the 115th anniversary of our founding in 1896. We are proud to carry out our work in this century with the same passion and commitment shown by our founders Harriet Hemenway and Minna Hall more than 100 years ago. Their love of nature—like ours today—continues inspiring action.  Our credibility and teamwork are the foundation of our organization, as we aspire to have our work support people and community for many years to come.

We look forward to the year ahead, and we very much appreciate your support. Together we can protect the nature of Massachusetts for people, for wildlife, and for the future.

Thank you,
