Did you know that the green stripe in the original Pride flag was selected to represent nature and the healing benefits of time spent connecting to the natural world?

People of all queer identities are welcome and celebrated at Mass Audubon sanctuaries and programs. In fact, nearly a quarter of our staff identifies as LGBTQ+!

Mass Audubon?s values and commitment to creating inclusive, safe spaces of belonging for all people extend to LGBTQ+ communities across the state. To honor, celebrate, and let LGBTQ+ people of all backgrounds know they are welcome, Mass Audubon proudly flies the progress pride flag at every staffed wildlife sanctuary throughout the year.

Throughout the month of June, Mass Audubon wildlife sanctuaries are excited to host events for members of the LGBTQ+ community. A full list of events, including Pride festivals, LGBTQ+ nature walks, game nights, and other ways for queer-identified folks to connect with nature and each other, can be found on our website at massaudubon.org/pride.
