\"\"<\/p>\n

As the season of giving approaches, I want to thank you\u00a0 for what you do to protect the nature of Massachusetts every day.<\/p>\n

Together, you are 125,000 strong: members, volunteers, and passionate advocates who act, speak, and even march on behalf of wildlife and wild lands.<\/p>\n

Because of you, there are beautiful landscapes to explore and enjoy, from the mountains of Western Massachusetts to barrier beaches on the Cape and Islands.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I hope you are encouraged by what\u2019s possible when we work together, and are inspired to make a gift to Mass Audubon<\/a>. We are counting on you to meet the challenges the new year will bring.<\/p>\n

Your gift will have even greater impact <\/strong>thanks to three wonderful supporters who have pledged to match all donations<\/a> from today through Giving Tuesday, up to $15,000!\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

We need you. Nature needs you. And now, more than ever, we all need nature.<\/p>\n

Gary Clayton
\nPresident<\/p>\n

One more thing! As a way to say thank you, if you make a donation of $35 or more, we’ll send you a free “Nature Needs You”\u00a0<\/span>Mass Audubon tote bag!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
