Are you ready for an amazing adventure in the great outdoors? Then you need to visit the Greenwich Audubon Center in Connecticut. This center is the first environmental education center of the National Audubon Society, and it has something for everyone who loves nature and wildlife.
The center owns and manages 686 acres on seven sanctuaries in Greenwich, including the Main Sanctuary located at 613 Riversville Road. You can wander through the seven miles of trails that take you to different habitats, such as forests, fields, lake, streams, and pools. You can also see traces of history, such as stone walls, an old apple orchard, and original New England homestead buildings.
The sanctuaries are full of life, and you can watch them with binoculars or cameras. You can see all kinds of birds, from woodpeckers to warblers, from hawks to owls, from herons to ducks. You can also spot other animals, such as deer, foxes, squirrels, chipmunks, frogs, turtles, and butterflies.
The center also has a nature store, a coffee lounge, a library, and a gallery where you can find books, gifts, snacks, and art. You can also join one of the many programs that the center offers, such as bird walks, nature classes, family events, summer camps, and volunteer opportunities .
The center is open Thursday through Sunday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., and the trails are open daily from sunrise to sunset. The admission is free for members and $6 for non-members. You can also make a donation to support the center’s mission to protect birds and the places they need.
