Climate and Nature Champions

Mass Audubon’s Climate and Nature Champions is a grassroots advocacy program that mobilizes individuals across Massachusetts to speak with one voice on the most pressing environmental issues of our time.

Whether you have been an advocate before or are new to policy work, you can help Mass Audubon fight for land and wildlife protections, clean air and water, and policies that will reduce climate-heating pollution.

No matter how much time you have, your involvement can help. Levels of participation vary from emailing your representative about a key issue to organizing your local community around a campaign. In addition to our active campaigns, Mass Audubon always advocates for our policy priorities.

Grow Solar, Protect Nature

Massachusetts needs more solar energy, but it shouldn't come at the expense of forests and farmlands. Help us push for responsible solar energy development that will create the clean energy we need while conserving the nature we have.

Accelerate Wetland Restoration

The current regulation and permitting system makes doing beneficial wetland restoration work difficult. We're working to streamline the process.
