United by Nature Auction

Bidding is open for Bedford Audubon’s United by Nature Online Auction! For a limited time, you’ll have the opportunity to bid on some of our most valued programs and expert services for your private use. This special event is hosted through our trusted partner platform, Givebutter.

All proceeds will support the expansion of our Leon Levy Native Habitat Garden. The central project for this summer is the development of an accessibility trail to ensure greater inclusivity and provide meaningful access to nature for those with limited mobility. Your winning bids will support this much needed revitalization! 

Every auction winner will enjoy an amazing experience they can share with friends and family while supporting the installation of our accessibility trail and the creation of more habitat for birds and pollinators. The garden expansion will also allow us to broaden our educational programming. 

Place a bid in our United by Nature Online Auction and you’ll be automatically entered into a special raffle — no extra steps needed. At the close of the auction, we’ll draw one lucky winner to receive a bird-themed summer reading bundle filled with engaging books and nature-inspired surprises.
