EcoTravel Frequently Asked Questions
Question 1
Answer 1
The EcoTravel Team
Connecticut Audubon Society (CAS) first offered organized field trips in the 1950s. CAS board member Ulie Hellman and his wife Hildegard were both very active in CAS after World War II and led all the field trips in the 1950’s until 1975, when their health began to fail. The Hellmans led no international trips, however, and only got as far as Block Island.
