We’re a group of Volunteers committed to reducing the use of rat poisons that harm raptors and other wildlife in the town of Chelmsford. We dedicate our time to educate the public on the harmful affects from Second Generation Anticoagulant Rodenticides (SGARS) and their negative impact on our wildlife, domestic pets, children, and our environment. We are a small piece of the puzzle to a bigger movement from
Mass Audubon Rescue Raptor campaign and MSPCA’s Animal Act Team
We meet monthly in the town of Chelmsford/zoom on Sunday’s 6:30pm
