New Home for Fairfield Nature Center’s Ambassador Birds

The Fairfield Nature Center Birds of Prey Compound re-opened in September 2025 after extensive renovations. After two years of planning, renovating and constructing new enclosures, as well as an accessible boardwalk, our new aviary is not only safer and more comfortable for the birds but also opens up the experience to all visitors.

Thank you to our generous donors who made this project possible: the Dillon Fund, Joyce Hergenhan, the Anne S. Richardson Fund, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, the Town of Fairfield, AARP and Ring’s End. The valued support and spirit of our staff, contractors and board members are captured in this beautiful project that blends conservation with inclusivity.
