Protecting Land & Wildlife

Land conservation is an important component of Mass Audubon’s advocacy work. We lobby state and federal legislators for funding to protect open space for conservation, recreation, and responsible uses like sustainable forestry, farming, and fishing.

Forests

We are also actively involved in efforts to encourage the responsible management of Massachusetts forests.

Protecting Wildlife

Mass Audubon advocates for the conservation of birds, wildlife, and habitat through our work at the federal, state, and local levels of government.
