Founded in 1971, the Cape Cod Bird Club has been a cornerstone of the Massachusetts birding and conservation community for over 50 years. Originally a gathering of local enthusiasts, the Club has grown into a dynamic organization offering dozens of free field trips, lectures, and educational programs throughout the year that bring people together to enjoy and protect the natural areas of the Cape.
Join us for a walk as we look for birds in stunning, off-the-beaten-path locations—salt marshes, barrier beaches, kettle ponds—places most people overlook. You’ll start to appreciate the Cape and its wildlife differently. [LINK]
Mass Audubon is the largest nature-based conservation organization in New England. Founded in 1896 by two women who fought for the protection of birds, Mass Audubon carries on their legacy by focusing on the greatest challenges facing the environment today: the loss of biodiversity, inequitable access to nature, and climate change.
With the help of our 160,000 members and supporters, we protect wildlife, conserve and restore resilient land, advocate for impactful environmental policies, offer nationally recognized education programs for adults and children, and provide endless opportunities to experience the outdoors at our wildlife sanctuaries.
