This spring, art and nature are coming together at Long Pasture Wildlife Sanctuary like never before. Thanks to the generosity of artist Dr. Robert Glickman, five one-of-a-kind, hand-carved wooden bird sculptures will be featured in a silent auction at the Long Pasture Discovery Center.

About the Artist
A graduate of Harvard Medical School, Dr. Robert Glickman began his exploration into art by building ship models as a hobby. Later in life he switched to carving birds of all kinds. In his pastime as an artist, he carved more than 100 birds of many different species. His wish is for these carvings to find a good home with someone who cares for birds and supports Mass Audubon’s mission.
