We need your help this earth day! Celebrate by volunteering with us to remove invasive plants and promote a healthy ecosystem. On Wednesday, April 22 at 10 am we’re going to tackle one of our more pervasive invasive species, garlic mustard. Garlic mustard is a non-native plant that grows quickly, and chokes out other native plants by taking up valuable space and resources. Unlike many native plants, it provides very low benefits to wildlife and other plants. So we’re on a mission to get rid of it, to make sure native plants that sustain local wildlife have room and resources to grow. But there’s a lot of garlic mustard 😬 and we need your help! And what better way to celebrate earth day than to do your part to create a healthier habitat? Scan the QR code to sign up today!

Attention ‼️ We need your help to build nest boxes for Roseate Terns this season!

The National Audubon Society Connecticut office and the Audubon Alliance for Coastal Waterbirds have partnered with researchers at Great Gull Island to provide nest boxes, but we need your help to build them. Roseate Terns are an endangered species, and Great Gull Island is home to the largest Roseate Tern colony in the western hemisphere.

Please RSVP by emailing [email protected]. Volunteers will assemble pre-cut wood and kits into shoebox-sized nest boxes using handheld drills. They will also have the opportunity to place the nest boxes at Great Island.

Please help this endangered bird have a successful nesting season!! We need all the help we can get! Please register by emailing [email protected]

Hot off the press, our spring program schedule is live! Come to the Greenwich Audubon Center to see the very best of spring, such as migrating birds, blooming wildflowers and other native plants, leisurely nature walks, and more! Spring is one of our favorite seasons here at the center as nature starts waking up from its winter hibernation. Especially after our own winter season of more intense snow storms and cold than usual, time cooped up in our cars and offices, winter blues—we don’t know about you, but we can’t wait to get out there and touch some grass (literally). Come join us!

Did you know that a study done on the volume of spring peepers found that when you are within 50 centimeters of a single male peeper, it’s as loud as a motorcycle is from 25-feet away – about 90 decibels! Now imagine a whole chorus of them—that’s the concert being played daily at the Greenwich Audubon Center right now, particularly in the evening hours. Have you heard the spring peepers yet?! They’re peeping up a storm at Georgie’s Pond!
