Founded in 1913, the Bedford Audubon Society is the local chapter of the National Audubon Society. Regarded as an expert on local bird populations and wildlife, it serves much of northern Westchester and eastern Putnam counties in southeastern New York.
Bedford Audubon is committed to environmental literacy, avian research and conservation efforts. Bedford Audubon Society owns and manages almost 600 acres of wildlife habitat at four sanctuaries, and maintains more than seven miles of hiking trails.
Bedford Audubon hosts free and public monthly lectures September through June, and more than 50 additional free and public workshops, walks and special events all year long. Bird, butterfly and dragonfly courses are
offered seasonally. Bylane Farm, Bedford Audubon's headquarters adjacent to the Hunt-Parker Sanctuary on Todd Road in Katonah, hosts the beautiful Leon Levy Native Garden. Bedford Audubon Society currently has more than 1,500
members and is supported by memberships, grants and individual contributions.
Contact: Janelle Robbins, Executive Director at 914-232-1999. Offices are open Monday through Friday, 9am to 5pm.
