Audubon Center at Bent of the River is a 700-acre preserve in Southbury, Connecticut. It is located off South Britain Road and is open year-round. The Center's mission is to conserve land and promote biodiversity. Its website states "When Mrs. Althea Clark bequeathed Bent of the River farm to National Audubon Society, she left explicit instructions about its use for education and the maintenance of the land— such as preserving it for native flora and fauna and having no trail blazes or interpretive signs. She wanted the Bent to be kept in a state of "mild wildness." The property features about 15 miles of trails through fields, forests, shrub and grasslands along the Pomperaug River, and is considered to be an excellent site for bird watching.[1][2] The property includes a brick house named the Clark House and a mid-19th century barn used for nature education programs and events.[3] References1. ^{{cite web|title=Bent of the River Audubon Center|url=http://www.southbury-ct.org/bentoftheriveraudubon|publisher=Southbury, CT|accessdate=6 November 2017}} 2. ^{{cite web|title=A Trip To The 'Bent' Of The Pomperaug River|url=http://www.courant.com/news/connecticut/hc-marteka-bent-river-sanctuary-1207-20141205-column.html|publisher=Hartford Courant|accessdate=6 November 2017|date=December 5, 2014}} 3. ^{{cite web|title=Historic Barn At Southbury's Audubon Center At Bent Of The River Received A "Spring Facelift" Due To Generous Donations|url=https://patch.com/connecticut/southbury/historic-barn-southburys-audubon-center-bent-river-received-spring-facelift|publisher=Southbury Patch|accessdate=6 November 2017|date=May 26, 2017}} External links{{commons category|Audubon Center Bent of the River}}
