2019 Annual Report

Fighting Climate Change 160,258 SERVICE HOURS completed by Mass Audubon volunteers, the equivalent of 77 full-time employees

A note from Gary Clayton, President: Working at Mass Audubon for over 30 years has been a true privilege, and serving as president for these last five years has given me an even greater appreciation for this incredible organization. I have met fascinating people, seen inspirational conservation in action, and witnessed incredible progress in advancing environmental education, climate change response, land protection, and legislative achievements. Just a few of our successes are detailed in this report—but they are a wonderful representation of the work we do together. I hope you take a great deal of pride in knowing that you have made a difference. As I retire from my role as president, I will certainly not retire as an ardent supporter, enthusiastic advocate, and most importantly, member of this wonderful organization. The future is bright, and I look forward to being a part of it with you.

A note from Beth Kressley Goldstein, Chair, Board of Directors: We are at a turning point for the organization and for the planet. The next year will bring a new leader, new opportunities, and new challenges, but our commitment to protecting the nature of Massachusetts will always be our guiding focus. Our work matters, and I am both inspired 6 and excited about the action Mass Audubon will take to address the CONSECUTIVE challenges of climate change, connect people with nature, and empower YEARS a new generation of conservation leaders. As always, our success will awarded a four-star be rooted in the support and commitment of members, donors, and Charity Navigator rating partners—in other words, you. I look forward to working with you as we embark on this new chapter together. 11,335 175 CHILDREN FORMER participating in day and overnight camps MASS AUDUBON STAFF MEMBERS reunited at the first-ever Mass Audubon Staff Reunion

Camp Changes Lives

Small hands gently cradling a newt that wandered across the hiking path. Wide, awestruck eyes taking in the delicate dance of the honeybee in an observation hive. Marshmallows slowly roasting to a golden brown over an open campfire shared with new friends. Each summer, magical moments like these happen every day at Mass Audubon camps across the state, forging a lifelong connection to nature for more than 11,000 children in 2019 alone. Although our 20 accredited camps continue to grow and welcome new campers, we believe that every child deserves the life-changing experience of camp, and we’re committed to tearing down the financial and social barriers that stand in their way. The benefits of a nature-based camp are clear: kids have fun; connect with nature and each other; make friends; and build confidence, resilience, and respect for one another and the natural world. And each of our camps is tailored to its unique environment. • At BOSTON NATURE CENTER in Mattapan, campers harvest kale in a community garden and observe Tree Swallows flitting and diving in a meadow. • At WELLFLEET BAY on easternmost Cape Cod, campers follow the receding tide to discover all the sea creatures it leaves behind in the sand. • At ARCADIA in Northampton, older campers participate in research projects like vernal pool monitoring or studying butterfly populations, while younger kids learn about the interconnectedness of food webs through games like Predator/Prey Tag. At all our camps, kids overcome challenges, tap into their innate sense of wonder and curiosity, and play games that help them begin to piece together the intricate web of life, understanding the meaning of community on every level. continued... 3 Camps (continued)...

In short, Mass Audubon camps are growing nature heroes—the future environmental and industry leaders our changing climate so desperately needs. Mass Audubon is working to eliminate the financial and social barriers that keep camp out of reach for so many families through our financial model and with the generosity of those who contribute to our scholarship funds or have established permanent Campership Endowment Funds. More than 10 percent of our campers already receive some financial support, but we know there is so much more we can do—so many more children we can reach— with your help. Learn more about our camps and how you can help send a kid to camp at massaudubon.org/camps.

Saving Norma’s Woods

According to her family, 89-year-old Norma Dorrance was a woman of “strong character who was not afraid to stand her ground.” And that’s just what she did to protect her land. For many years, the Dorrance family explored and enjoyed her 25 acres of woods and wetlands adjacent to the 50- acre Oak Knoll Wildlife Sanctuary in Attleboro. But Norma’s vision was to see the property conserved so that others could benefit from the undeveloped open space for generations to come. Norma received generous bids to purchase her land from developers, but she wanted to see her land protected. She was not in a position to donate the land, but she had the forethought to reach out to Mass Audubon and investigate a conservation outcome. Norma offered to sell the property at a price below the developers’ bids, and together she and Mass Audubon signed a one-year option to provide time to fundraise. Sadly, Norma passed away just one month after this signing. Motivated to honor both Norma’s vision and the ecological value of the land, we reached out to the local community as well as to Mass Audubon members across the state. We told the story of a property that could increase the sanctuary by 50 percent, provide better access to nature in an otherwise urban environment, and protect the shoreline of Lake Talaquega. They heard our story, and we are so grateful to the more than 200 individuals who supported this effort and helped to protect the Dorrance property. Today, Norma’s Woods is a distinct part of Oak Knoll Wildlife Sanctuary. It includes a wonderful loop trail and is right by a city bus stop. Kids from Oak Knoll Nature Day Camp explored the property every day this summer, and we look forward to the future learning and recreation opportunities that Norma’s land will provide.

It sat on 143 acres of pristine forests and fields along the Concord River, Reinier Beeuwkes, Nancy Beeuwkes, and Gary Clayton abutting the Great Meadows National Wildlife Refuge. The property was once part of the estate of noted ornithologist and Mass Audubon’s first president, William Brewster, an estate that had been divided up over the years. And it was a place Nancy always coveted. She hatched a plan and approached Gary Clayton, a fellow Concord resident. Nancy and Reinier would purchase the 143 acres for $22 million, she proposed, and immediately donate it to Mass Audubon. In addition, they would sign a life estate on their own home, passing it on to Mass Audubon when the couple decides to leave the property.

In recognizing the existential issue of our time, Mass Audubon is deepening its commitment to fighting climate change in Massachusetts and beyond. Alexandra Vecchio, Mass Audubon’s Climate Change Program Director, shares her thoughts on implementing nature-based solutions and serving as a model for others to address the crisis.

OTHER LAND CONSERVATION PROJECTS

HUBBARD’S FARM Princeton Wachusett Meadow As the last chapter of the ambitious Fieldstone Farm landscape protection project, Mass Audubon facilitated the permanent conservation of a 60-acre farm and its transfer to the next farmer owner. Working in partnership with the Princeton Land Trust, Town of Princeton, Commonwealth of Massachusetts Department of Agricultural Resources, and United States Department of Agriculture Natural Resources Conservation Services, an Agricultural Preservation Restriction (which requires the land to be permanently used for agricultural purposes) was placed on this property, which abuts Wachusett Meadow Wildlife Sanctuary.

LENOX LAND EXCHANGE Lenox Pleasant Valley In the making for 26 years, Mass Audubon and the Town of Lenox completed a long-sought land exchange that expands and consolidates our land holdings on Yokun Ridge—a highly scenic and very popular recreation destination at Pleasant Valley Wildlife Sanctuary. The two parcels conveyed to the town were acquired many years ago for the expressed purpose of exchanging them to gain ownership of more SUPPORTERS land on Yokun Ridge. Prior to transfer, Mass Audubon Mass Audubon gratefully acknowledges the individuals, foundations, placed permanent CRs on both lots, one held by Berkshire corporations, and government agencies whose generous financial Natural Resources Council (BNRC), and the other held contributions and pledges provided critical support for our by the US Forest Service, Massachusetts Department of conservation, education, and advocacy efforts between July 1, 2018 Conservation & Recreation, and BNRC. and June 30, 2019.
