Speak Up for Science
Science—It's In Our Nature
When it comes to finding effective ways to protect the nature of Massachusetts, science plays a crucial part. Here are some ways you can advocate to support the role of evidence-based science in guiding conservation action and environmental policy.
Stay Informed
Be a Citizen Scientist
You don't have to be a professional scientist to contribute data to science! Our wildlife sanctuaries are living laboratories where volunteers help us monitor and measure everything from stranded sea turtles to osprey migration to salamander counts.
Support Conservation Science
Conservation policies and strategies are only as strong as the evidence-based science supporting them. Our scientists work on our wildlife sanctuaries and beyond conducting research on climate change, wildlife, land protection, and ecological management.
Connect Kids With Nature
Children can be scientists and environmental stewards, too! Mass Audubon inspires a love of nature through an incredible variety of family and kid-friendly programs at our wildlife sanctuaries, summer camps, preschools, in classrooms, and more.
