Committees
The following Audubon Greenwich committees are seeking Audubon members with an interest in
the committee’s goals and experience in the subject.
Education Committee
The Education Committee oversees and acts as a resource for Audubon Greenwich's educational programs and staff at the Center and in the community. The Committee liaises with local organizations such as public school and the Bruce Museum so that everyone from pre-schoolers to senior citizens can take part in activities. Programs include school trips, weekly hikes, talks for the public, training in nature education for teachers and volunteer naturalists, and summer day camps for children. Locales range from the Audubon Center to Long Island Sound.
For more information contact Chair Camille Broderick.
Land Stewardship Committee
The focus of the Land Stewardship Committee is oversight of the Audubon Greenwich sanctuaries, which total over 600 acres. The keystone of the Committee's mission is the development and implementation of sanctuary management plans for ongoing maintenance such as vegetation management, control of invasives, trail maintenance, signage, and an ongoing monitoring and inspection program. Longer-term objectives include restoration projects and furthering the understanding of sanctuary resources by adding to the biological inventories that have been compiled for the major sanctuaries.
For more information contact the Center Director at 203-869-5272, Ext. 226.
Science Committee
The Science Committee promotes citizen science and research programs that involve and educate a broad range of participants. The committee monitors and advises other committees and the staff on scientific issues and concerns. The committee develops new science-based public programs and broadens science-based partnerships with educational and other organizations.
For more information contact Chair Gary Palmer.
Birding Committee
The objectives of the Birding Committee (aka: Quaker Ridge Bird Club) are to promote a greater awareness and appreciation of native birds, to conduct bird surveys, studies and other projects and to support the protection of birds and their habitats and to provide forums for birders to socialize and work together to expand their knowledge of bird life.
