Talking about climate change isn’t easy; while some people deny its existence, others are warning of an imminent apocalypse. At Mass Audubon, we seek to create a community that embraces open-discussion, education, and sound scientific research as a foundation for addressing climate-related issues. We believe that one of the most important steps we can take is starting the conversation, so at Felix Neck Wildlife Sanctuary we have developed a series of upcoming programs to discuss climate change as it pertains to our local, state-wide, and national communities. We will talk about the work being done at Mass Audubon, and present participants with tangible examples of how they can make a difference in their day-to-day lives. The following programs and events have been scheduled for this summer:
Environmentalists Respond to the Trump Administration & Congress
Thursday, June 1 | 7 - 8:30 pm | FREE | Edgartown Public Library
Jack Clarke, Mass Audubon’s Director of Public Policy, will discuss how current events in Washington are affecting climate change, energy, and environmental policy and how Mass Audubon is addressing these issues at a local, state, and federal level.
Examining the Evidence: A Climate Change Walk & Talk
Saturdays, June 3, July 1, August 5 & September 2 | 10 - 11 am | Members: $6; Nonmembers: $9
This guided hike will take participants across the Sanctuary to see areas that have been impacted by climate and weather events. We will look at two ongoing projects that aim to address the changes that are occurring - the “living shoreline” and a salt marsh elevation study - and learn what Mass Audubon and you can do to address climate change.
World Oceans Day Celebration Aboard the Skipper
Thursday, June 8 | 5 - 7 pm | Members: $35; Nonmembers: $45
Join a Felix Neck naturalist on a boat trip in celebration of World Oceans Day! This year’s theme is “Our Oceans, Our Future.” We will explore the waters of Vineyard Sound to learn about our local marine environment and meet the amazing creatures that call it home. Registration Required.
For more than 100 years, Mass Audubon has worked to protect the nature of Massachusetts for people and wildlife. Today, one of our biggest goals is to address climate change through conservation, education, and advocacy. Doing so requires an engaged and informed voting public, and Mass Audubon is uniquely suited to create and support a climate-literate community in Massachusetts.

Mass Audubon works to protect the nature of Massachusetts for people and wildlife. Together with more than 100,000 members, we care for 35,000 acres of conservation land, provide school, camp, and other educational programs for 225,000 children and adults annually, and advocate for sound environmental policies at local, state, and federal levels. Founded in 1896 by two inspirational women who were committed to the protection of birds, Mass Audubon has grown to become a powerful force for conservation in New England. Today we are respected for our sound science, successful advocacy, and innovative approached to connecting people and nature. Each year, our statewide network of wildlife sanctuaries welcomes nearly half a million visitors of all ages, abilities, and backgrounds and serves as a base for our work.
