WHAT IS AUDUBON CONNECTICUT?
Audubon Connecticut supports programs that connect people to nature across the state. Through land stewardship, science, education and advocacy, Audubon Connecticut preserves habitat and protects bird species and other wildlife that are of state, national and global concern. Stratford Point, which is managed by Audubon Connecticut, is one of the best birding destinations in the state and provides 40 acres of habitat that is enjoyed by people, and wildlife. Visit their website here. [https://ct.audubon.org/]
"With past support from Two Roads, Audubon Connecticut has planted hundreds of trees, shrubs, and perennials that benefit wildlife and worked to control invasive plant species at Stratford Point. More recently, Audubon and partners have led the restoration efforts at the Great Meadows Marsh, a unit of the Stewart B. McKinney National Wildlife Refuge. As part of the project, we worked with the Town of Stratford to employ 12 local high school students as Salt Marsh Stewards. The stewards, many volunteers, and partners planted over 150,000 native plants in the restored marsh. Funding from the 2025 Shore 2 Pour will go towards implementing the Salt Marsh Stewards program again in 2026, giving additional students an opportunity to explore careers in conservation and make a difference in their own community.
