Education Outreach: Saw Mill River Audubon

Apply for an adult or youth environmental scholarship!

From its inception, Saw Mill River Audubon has had a strong focus on environmental education. Each year, we bring our school-based education programs to thousands of local kindergarten through college students and offer free natural history programs and field trips to adults and families.

Saw Mill River Audubon recognizes that environmental education is the basis for improving and sustaining environmental quality.

Our education programs focus on local habitats while making natural connections to regional, state, national, and international issues.
Our goal is to encourage students of all ages to move from awareness to understanding and from appreciation to action.

An awareness of the natural world
is the first step for caring about it.

Our members make it happen
Because of the financial support of our members, we offer an annual calendar of free public programs and field trips.

We charge $75/program for our classroom presentations and $85/group for sanctuary tours for schools and community groups.

This fee is well below our cost and these programs are also offered on a sliding scale.
Schools and groups pay as they are able. No group is ever turned away because of inability to pay.

You are invited to come to our free public programs and field trips, visit our sanctuaries and add your voice to ours to protect the natural world. Come, meet us and see, in person, what we do!

We also invite you to consider joining us as a member.
