Become a Mass Audubon Member

If you love nature and want to protect it, join our community of 160,000 members. Mass Audubon members value preserving land and protecting wildlife. They crave time outdoors, whether they’re hiking, gardening, or birdwatching. They support sustainable brands and reduce their carbon footprint whenever possible. And they love to learn and teach others about the beauty and wonders of nature. 

Thanks to our members, who provide essential support and inspire us to do more every day, we’re tackling the greatest challenges facing the environment: the loss of biodiversity, inequitable access to nature, and climate change. 

Member Benefits 

Not only can Mass Audubon members make a difference for the nature of Massachusetts every day, but they also get amazing benefits.  

As a member you will enjoy free admission to 60+ wildlife sanctuaries and green spaces across the Commonwealth, our quarterly Explore newsletter, discounts on nature programs, classes, and gear, and exclusive access to summer camps, CSAs, campgrounds, and more.

And by selecting Auto Renew when joining or renewing, your membership support will go even further (and will even reduce the amount of mail coming your way).  

With Auto Renew, we'll send an annual reminder before your credit card is charged for the then-current annual dues at your membership level. You can easily change your level of membership support or cancel at any time by contacting Member Services.
