Connecting People with Nature

We have been connecting people with nature since our center was founded in 1961. As part of 91°µÍø Connecticut, a state office of the 91°µÍø, 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 91°µÍø Center is one of three 91°µÍø Connecticut centers in the state—the sister centers include Bent of the River 91°µÍø Center (Southbury, Connecticut) and Greenwich 91°µÍø Center.
