Step into the sunshine and join Montezuma Audubon Center on Monday, June 9 for 18 holes of golf in support of conservation at the Montezuma Wetlands Complex, Onondaga Lake, and other Important Bird Areas in the Finger Lakes region.
Golfers will face beautifully manicured fairways and greens while playing a Captain and Crew golf tournament at the Wayne Hills Country Club that was named one of the 101 reasons why golf in Rochester is so great. Enjoy a day of golf with lunch, a cocktail reception, bucket raffle, wine pull, nest box pull, and a dinner & awards reception. Not into golf? Join us for cocktails and dinner instead. Tickets just for the cocktail and dinner reception are available too.
“Audubon is responding to the greatest challenges facing birds and people today while anticipating the issues—and opportunities—of tomorrow,” said Chris Lajewski, Director of Montezuma Audubon Center and Onondaga Lake Conservation Corps. “We remain focused on birds because we know their collective health reflects the health of our planet. What’s good for birds is good for the Earth. Annual Benefit attendees will help us align our work as we attempt to “bend the bird curve,” meaning that we are working to halt, and ultimately reverse, the decline of birds across the Americas.”
