Come Learn and Explore With Us!

Bent of the River Audubon Center is a 700-acre nature sanctuary and education center located in Southbury, Connecticut. Along with Greenwich Audubon Center and Sharon Audubon Center, we are part of Audubon Connecticut, a state office of the National Audubon Society.

Visitors are welcome to enjoy our trails, nature programs, and conservation-themed events throughout the year.

NOTICE: The Bent of the River Audubon Center will be CLOSED from November 21 – 24 for annual habitat management! Our habitat work is essential for supporting the birds–like the Prairie Warbler–and other wildlife that depend on our nearly 100 acres of early successional habitat throughout the year. We appreciate your cooperation and look forward to welcoming visitors back next week!
