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.
