Fighting for the Environment

In light of the shifting political landscape, Mass Audubon’s Advocacy team has been working tirelessly to prevent a potential backslide of environmental policy at the federal level, to push for earth-friendly legislation at the state and local levels, and to collaborate with conservation and other partners to present a unified front across the Commonwealth.

Where in Mass Audubon Are We Now?

The last photo featured in Explorations was taken at Ipswich River Wildlife Sanctuary in Topsfield. Of those with correct guesses, Kay B of Pittsburgh, PA was the winner of a pocket guide. Ready to guess another Mass Audubon wildlife sanctuary?

Where are we now?

The "backyard" of this wildlife sanctuary overlooks a river, salt marsh, and mudflats. While the sanctuary doesn't have any trails to explore per se, there is no shortage of wildlife that can be viewed from this vantage point, including bald eagles.
