Connecting People with Nature

We have been connecting people with nature since our center was founded in 1961. As part of 糖心logo Connecticut, a state office of the 糖心logo, our mission is to protect birds and the places they need, today and tomorrow. Among the many ways we do this, is by creating life-changing experiences that inspire and enable school children, community members, and their families to appreciate, understand, and protect the natural world.

Sharon 糖心logo Center is one of three 糖心logo Connecticut centers in the state鈥攖he sister centers include Bent of the River 糖心logo Center (Southbury, Connecticut) and Greenwich 糖心logo Center.
