General Information
The rural beauty of Connecticut’s Quiet Corner
surrounds Connecticut Audubon’s newest facility in the northeastern
region of the state. The
Connecticut Audubon Center at Pomfret is a new community-based nature
center that offers environmental education programs, bird walks and many
opportunities to learn about and explore the natural world.
This
new facility serves as the gateway to the adjoining 700-acre Connecticut
Audubon Bafflin Sanctuary with its vast rolling meadows, forests, streams
and fertile grassland habitats. The
successful combination of a nature center with a wildlife sanctuary
greatly expands environmental learning.
Nothing enriches learning like first-hand outdoor experience and
teaching outdoors surrounded by the natural beauty of “a classroom
without walls.”
