Rich
Anderson, Assistant Director
Rich has been with Audubon since 1995 and has been the Assistant
Director of the Constitution Marsh Audubon Center and Sanctuary
since 1999. Before coming to Audubon, Rich worked as
an environmental educator for New York State Parks and the
Department of Environmental Education. He is an avid
birder and naturalist who received his B.S. from the State
University of New York College of Environmental Science and
Forestry. At the Marsh, Rich does a little bit of everything,
from teaching school groups and leading canoe trips, to buildings
and grounds maintenance. His main responsibilities, however,
are overseeing the intern program, coordinating invasive plant
control efforts and managing the M.A.P.S. (Mapping Avian Productivity
and Survivorship) bird-banding research station.

New York publications.

Rebecca has a MA in Environmental Conservation Education from NYU and BA in Anthropology. She has served as a US Peace Corps volunteer in the Ukraine, facilitating an array of school classes and after-school programs. Coming to us most recently from the NYC Soil and Water Conservation District, Rebecca uses her educational background, multiple talents, and love of the natural world to coordinate and implement meaningful visitor programs.
