About Mass Audubon Mass Audubon is the largest nature-based conservation organization in New England. Founded in 1896 by two women who fought for the protection of birds, Mass Audubon carries on their legacy by focusing on the greatest challenges facing the environment today: the loss of biodiversity, inequitable access to nature, and climate change. With the help of our 160,000 members and supporters, we protect wildlife, conserve and restore resilient land, advocate for impactful environmental policies, offer nationally recognized education programs for adults and children, and provide endless opportunities to experience the outdoors at our wildlife sanctuaries. Explore, find inspiration, and take action at massaudubon.org. About This Position Boston Nature Center Camp - Mattapan is seeking individuals to foster experiential nature-based learning for campers. We aim to promote positive youth development, stewardship for the environment, and a respectful and inclusive safe space for all our campers. The Farm-Trekkers program is a partnership between camp programs at the Boston Nature Center and Drumlin Farm for campers to learn about food and farming between the two sites. Each week 10 Boston-area and 10 Lincoln-area children will care for farm animals, explore the two sanctuaries, work in the crop fields and gardens, and taste food you've gathered together.
