FRIENDS OF
MOUNT AUBURN CEMETERY
Founded in 1831, Mount Auburn Cemetery in
Watertown/Cambridge, MA was America's first landscaped cemetery and a major
inspiration for its public parks. Today Mount Auburn, a designated National
Historic Landmark, remains an active cemetery and a beautiful natural setting
that inspires the living. Its well-maintained grounds offer a place to observe
nature. As the popularity of the Brookline Bird Club field trips at Mount Auburn
indicates, few places can rival the Cemetery for observing spring warbler
migration.
In 1986, the Friends of Mount Auburn Cemetery was
established to promote the appreciation and preservation of the cultural,
historic, and natural resources of Mount Auburn. We invite you to show your
support by
joining the
Friends. Members receive the newsletter, Sweet Auburn;
the cemetery's Annual Report; notices of seasonal lectures and walking tours;
and reduced admission to all programs.
In 2004, the Friends published a 32-page guide, Birds and
Birding at Mount Auburn Cemetery, with text by Christopher Leahy and
illustrations by Clare Walker Leslie. The guide includes a checklist of the
birds of Mount Auburn that Bob Stymeist has compiled over many years. Copies are
available at the Office ($8) or by mail ($10).
