Snowy Owl \u00a9 David Morris<\/p><\/div>\n

Today, at a Mass Audubon wildlife sanctuary near you, you helped to save something truly extraordinary. You did it last week, and the week before that. In fact, you did it every day this year.<\/p>\n

And you are in the very best of company: your friends, neighbors, and 125,000 like-minded people all across the state are also taking action to protect the nature of Massachusetts.<\/p>\n

On Giving Tuesday (November 27), we\u2019ll share some stories about how your support is making a difference for wildlife, wild lands, and people. We hope you’ll be encouraged by what\u2019s possible when we all work together and are inspired to make a gift to Mass Audubon.<\/p>\n

Your donation<\/a> will have double the impact thanks to two wonderful supporters who have pledged to match all donations made for Giving Tuesday dollar-for-dollar, up to $20,000!<\/p>\n

Prefer not to wait until next Tuesday? Make your gift today<\/a>! (And don\u2019t worry \u2014 it will still count towards the match.)<\/p>\n

We need you. Nature needs you. And now, more than ever, we all need nature.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
