“Knowledge is power: Your support helps students turn lessons into action”
Connecticut Audubon’s team of educators across the state is working with students and teachers to pick up trash near rivers and Long Island Sound. Even more important, school kids are learning how to change their own behaviors and persuade others to change theirs.
“A resurgence of rarities: Plovers and martins thrive! Thank you for making it happen across the state”
Piping Plovers and Purple Martins are among the small number of birds that require human intervention not just to thrive but to survive. Both species now have solid, though not invulnerable, populations in the state.
Without the kind of consistent work that your donations support, Connecticut’s bird lovers would be looking in vain for both.
“New research and better habitat can be the difference for Ospreys and songbirds. Please make a gift today!”
So many birds have suffered from population declines that it can be a relief to talk about those that are doing well. Ospreys in Connecticut, for example. Each spring, hundreds return to the state. Osprey Nation volunteers have watched them raise their young year after year.
It’s a true conservation success story.
But that’s no longer the case farther south. In Chesapeake Bay, Ospreys are dying because the fish they rely on—especially menhaden—have become scarce. That raises an urgent question: are Connecticut’s Ospreys at risk of facing the same problem?
This is where you can make a difference—by donating to help answer that question and protect these important and beautiful birds of prey at the same time.
