Michael P. O'Connor
LINCOLN, MA—Mass Audubon is again offering military veterans and their families free admission to its 60 wildlife sanctuaries on Veterans Day, Monday, November 11.
Welcoming vets and their families to wildlife sanctuaries at no cost on November 11 has become a tradition on the holiday, and is a modest way for the state’s largest nature conservation nonprofit to thank the men and women who have served their country in the military.
According to the Department of Veteran Affairs, there are more than 300,000 veterans living in the Bay State
Mass Audubon operates a network of wildlife sanctuaries extending from the Cape and Islands to the Berkshires, and attracting more than a half million visitors annually.

Mass Audubon is the largest nature-based conservation organization in New England. Founded in 1896 by two women who fought for the protection of birds, Mass Audubon carries on their legacy by focusing on the greatest challenges facing the environment today: the loss of biodiversity, inequitable access to nature, and climate change. With the help of our 160,000 members and supporters, we protect wildlife, conserve and restore resilient land, advocate for impactful environmental policies, offer nationally recognized education programs for adults and children, and provide endless opportunities to experience the outdoors at our wildlife sanctuaries.
