  • Saturday, April 27, 8:00 am – 9:00 am, and 10:00 am – 11:00 am – Birds of a Feather Stroll Together

    Embark on a leisurely stroll through nature’s aviary on April 27 at 8 am or 10 am with past president of the Association of Field Ornithologists, Elissa Landre. The walk will take place at Mass Audubon’s Broadmoor Wildlife Sanctuary in Natick. Learn the secrets of chirps and tweets, as you travel through this wildlife sanctuary. You will discover a symphony of sights and sounds from our feathered friends. Unplug, unwind and let the wings guide you on this enchanting adventure. The event is co-sponsored by GBH Boston and the Massachusetts Audubon Society.

    We will explore field, forest and wetlands looking for resident nesters like Black-capped Chickadees (below, our state bird), migrants like Palm Warblers, and occasional visitors including the Bald Eagle. Wear good walking shoes, bring binoculars, cameras and your curiosity. Insect repellent recommended. Elissa is the former director at Broadmoor, past president of the Association of Field Ornithologists, and has led international tours for Mass Audubon for years. She especially enjoys introducing new people of all ages to the fun of birding and all are welcome to join Elissa in the field during the peak of bird migration. Register for either the 8 am or 10 am session at https://www.wgbh.org/events/birds-of-a-feather-stroll-together

  • Wednesday, January 8, 6:30 pm – 7:30 pm – Nature on Tap: Building Resilience to Climate Change Through Nature

    Join the Massachusetts Audubon Society on January 8 at 6:30 at Jack’s Abby Brewery, 102 Clinton Street in Framingham, for food, locally-brewed beer, and a thought-provoking discussion with Paige Dolci, Central/MetroWest Regional Coordinator for Mass Audubon. Paige’s topic is Building Resilience to Climate Change Through Nature. Nature-based solutions involve actions that work with, and enhance, nature to help people adapt to the impacts of climate change. These solutions also often provide co-benefits for the economy, human health, and biodiversity. Join us for an overview of nature based solutions and some examples of the important role they play in communities throughout our region. $15 for Mass Audubon members, $20 for nonmembers. Register online at www.massaudubon.org. This informal series is hosted by Broadmoor Wildlife Sanctuary and Mass Audubon’s Conservation Science department, and co-sponsored by Jack’s Abby Brewing.
