Potapaug serves the towns around the mouth of the Connecticut River.

Since 1978, Potapaug has been presenting a wide range of topics related to nature and environmental issues at their programs and special events. Audience members are treated to guest speakers who are experts, biologists, naturalists, scientists, authors, and artists who educate as well as entertain. Potapaug's new season starts in October and goes through June. All programs and field trips are always free (except for boat charters). Be sure to check out the Potapaug Audubon Society's page http://potapaugaudubon.org/ and find information on programs, field trips, conservation, and more!
