Mass Audubon Releases 2008 Annual Report

Dear Members and Friends,

Each year, our annual report gives us a chance to reflect on our accomplishments and to share our news with you. As we write this letter, we know that many of our members, volunteers, and peer organizations are facing challenges related to uncertain economic forecasts and unprecedented world, national, and local events. Mass Audubon is no exception. We also hear from you that it is during these times especially that you count on Mass Audubon for all that we have to offer. Therefore, we invite each and every one of you to take time to renew your energy with Mass Audubon by being part of our community and our conservation work.

This past year has been one of great accomplishment because of you. You have brought energy to the work that we do. From programs to conferences to volunteering to fundraising, you are the key ingredient in our successes.

We also have made great progress in reducing our carbon footprint. Thanks to grants from private and government entities and support from our members, we are not only going greener, but we are helping spread solutions for sustainable living in an effort to help slow climate change.

We are often told that our wildlife sanctuaries help energize individuals and communities. The land that we protect continues to expand and provide places for Mass Audubon to educate people, protect wildlife, and offer relaxation and inspiration to our visitors.

On the following pages, you will read more about the energy that comes from you, from the earth, and from our wildlife sanctuaries. There are new projects, partnerships, and programs happening all the time, and we invite you to stay connected through our wildlife sanctuaries, our publications, and our website www.massaudubon.org.

We look forward to the year ahead. With your continued energy and enthusiasm, it promises to bring new successes. Thank you for working with us to help protect the nature of Massachusetts for people, for wildlife, and for the future.
