Description

Harriet Hemenway and Minna Hall could be surprised to see what their simple discussion over tea in Boston’s Back Bay in 1896 has led to a couple of hundred years later. Concerned about the widespread killing of birds to be used in the millinery trade, the ladies asked other society women to not wear dead birds on their hats and to enroll in the Massachusetts Audubon Society for the Protection of Birds. As of late, sixty-eight thousand households across the state toughen the protection of all native Massachusetts natural world on more than thirty thousand acres of sanctuaries from Wellfleet Bay on Cape Cod to Pleasant Valley in Lenox. Mass Audubon carries the reader across the state to meet the farmers, entrepreneurs, and donors who owned, worked, and loved the land before it passed into the protective embrace of this conservation organization.
