Tips for Today

Happy Autumn!

Connecticut Audubon and Mass Audubon do a lot of similar nature programs, promote learning about state-specific wildlife (flora and fauna), and offer many educational tools via their websites.

One learning tool I really like is the monthly outdoor almanac that Mass Audubon publishes each month. It’s easy to take a quick glance at it before heading outside, or a simple way to engage youngsters and teens into learning about seasonal changes (September and October’s bird migration patterns, flowering plants and mushrooms, moon phases, fall foliage, critters gathering food for hibernation, etc.). You can print the outdoor almanac from the Mass Audubon website at the beginning of each month or view it online via their social media platforms.

Look for the most recent outdoor almanac here.

For current nature events with the Connecticut Audubon, go here their website.
