Norman Bird Sanctuary


  • Mission

    Established in 1949 through a bequest made by Mabel Norman Cerio, Norman Bird Sanctuary, under the charge of her will, was to maintain the land "for the propagation, preservation, and protection of birds, and where birds and bird life may be observed, studied, taught, and enjoyed by lovers of nature and by the public generally so interested in a spirit of humanity and mercy."
