The Audubon Society

The Bermuda Audubon Society is

the island's oldest environmental
organization. It was established in
1954 to address two growing environmental concerns.

The first was the threatened extirpation of the Eastern Bluebird on

Bermuda following the death of
the cedar forest and the removal of
the dead trees, which contained
the natural cavities in which it
nested.

The second was the official Government policy of the time to fill in
Bermuda's marshlands and ponds
for mosquito control by using them
as dumping grounds for garbage.
But it was also a time of hope, because the Cahow had just been rediscovered in 1951.
