About New Jersey Audubon

Founded almost 120 years ago with the mission of "connecting people with nature and stewarding the nature of today for the people of tomorrow", New Jersey Audubon is one of the oldest independent Audubon societies in the country. With the goal of increasing environmental awareness and conservation ethics, the society maintains 34 sanctuaries and 7 staffed facilities, including the Plainsboro Preserve and the Cape May Bird Observatory. Organized field trips and educational programs for all ages provide up-close glimpses of birds and other animals, as well as tidbits of knowledge sprinkled throughout the day. Through these efforts, the people of New Jersey are able to meet some of their upwardly mobile neighbors, including bald eagles, ruby-throated hummingbirds, red-bellied woodpeckers, and black skimmers.
