Conservation in Connecticut
We work to protect the natural places that birds and people need.

Bending the Bird Curve
Audubon's hemispheric approach to conservation directs our effort to the places where birds need us most and to all the places they call home. Their seasonal migration across our hemisphere means Audubon also works from boreal Canada to Connecticut and New York to Chile and beyond.
In Connecticut, our projects range from innovative forest and marsh conservation to bird-friendly policies and engaging the next generation of conservation leaders.
The work we do here to protect the places birds need also impacts their ability to thrive thousands of miles away.
