Tiffany became involved with Audubon as a way to engage her children in nature and contribute to the betterment of our community. She strongly supports Audubon's mission and activities, including the many educational programs for both adults and children offered at Audubon's Kimberlin Nature Center. Tiffany is inspired by Audubon's work to preserve and protect Long Island Sound and promote natural habitats for future generations.

Growing up, Julia’s family were always strong supporters of Audubon and so caring for our environment has always been one of her priorities. After moving to Greenwich, Julia was inspired to get involved with Audubon and to pass on this interest to her children. She believes the Audubon Center is a place for education as well as fun for children. Her children have enjoyed its programs and are realizing the importance of protecting and preserving the Long Island Sound. “We live in a beautiful town on the Long Island Sound and must be committed to improving the Sound’s health and cleanliness.”

Jeanine Behr Getz & Anne Ogilvy

Jeanine Behr Getz, author and founder of Kids Think Big LLC was born in Brooklyn, New York. Jeanine started putting pencil/crayon to paper early on in second grade, expressing her imaginative ideas through creative writings. She has always found writing to be a treasured outlet. Jeanine attended The Peddie School, Hightstown, New Jersey and Wheaton College, Norton, Massachusetts.

Jeanine became involved with conservation and preservation via Garden Club of America and the National Audubon Society. She has been a Co-Chair of Audubon’s Women in Conservation Awards Lunch for several years.

Jeanine was encouraged to reflect on her life style by the women and men she met who were already on their “green” journey. She was inspired by the passion her mentors shared for making differences that were extremely important for the health of our children and our earth.

Jeanine has written and published an award winning children’s book, Think Green! With the encouragement of family, friends, mentors and investors, Jeanine formed Kids Think Big LLC with a mission to entertain, educate and empower children of every age, via eco-friendly print and electronic media.

Jeanine states “as a mom who wants to make a difference I am always inspired and awed by others who do so much already to make our environment safer and cleaner for our children. I enjoy exploring and learning more everyday about the world around me. I would encourage families to go birding with their children, go camping, plant a flower or just sit under a tree and read, enjoy and protect the habitats that sustain us!”

As Anne puts it “Audubon is much more than simply a bird conservation organization; it is one of Greenwich’s key institutions, teaching our children to love and understand the natural world, helping us make wise decisions about the environmental health of our community, while guiding the state and the nation in reasoned conservation choices for the Sound and other national treasures.”
