Throughout the sanctuary are plantings designed to attract birds and butterflies. To enjoy this unique sanctuary and its inhabitants more fully, a new teaching bridge was constructed in 1995 over a pond on the property which allows a unique perspective of the natural beauty of the area. A list of sanctuary plantings is available to visitors upon request. Demonstrations Connecticut Audubon volunteers, licensed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, have operated a Bird Banding Station here since 1979. More than 18,000 birds have been mist-netted, documented, banded and released unharmed.
Demonstrations are available to any group by appointment.
Tours Volunteer docents lead tours of the museum and sanctuary throughout the year for school and civic groups throughout the year. The guides emphasize conservation and environmental awareness appropriate to any age. Reuse by Permission Only.
