National Audubon Society

The National Audubon Society will conduct a research study to answer these questions: What roles do nature centers serve? How are they valued by users, neighbors, and other community members? How do their missions align with the values of the communities? The answers are critical to ensure the best service to the public as well as, in some instances, the survival of the centers themselves. Key outcomes will include lessons relevant to improving community relationships for nature centers and similar institutions such as zoos, museums, and aquaria.
