Education helps develop a community that understands connections among the human health, ecosystems and economies. The Hitchcock Center connects people with nature and encourages a deeper emotional bond with the natural world that sustains us all.

Founded in 1962, the Hitchcock Center for the Environment fosters awareness and understanding of our environment through programs with a particular focus on children, who live in a world of environmental challenges.

Our educational framework centers on five fundamentals:

  • Understanding principles of ecology
  • Valuing place
  • Promoting resilience
  • Demonstrating sustainability in the built environment
  • Educating for active citizenship

Mass Audubon’s mission is to protect the nature of Massachusetts for people and for wildlife:

• By serving as a leader and a catalyst for conservation

• By acting directly to protect the nature of Massachusetts

• By stimulating individual and institutional action through conservation, education, and advocacy
