The Sharon Audubon Center is an education center and nature sanctuary that is situated on 1,147 acres of mostly forest and includes 11 miles of trails and two ponds. Our main visitor center building houses a small hands-on natural history museum, the Audubon Nature Store, and the Children's Adventure Center. The immediate grounds include raptor aviaries, a pollinator garden, a butterfly house, and a working sugarhouse (formerly an ice house).

The Sharon Audubon Center is home to a number of non-releasable birds. The majority of the birds are housed in large outside, predator-proof aviaries, filled with natural vegetation and various perching options. The birds serve as education ambassadors for their species, accompanying Audubon staff to education programs at schools, community events, and other venues—teaching thousands of people about the importance of protecting these amazing animals and their natural habitats.
