Our Annual Appeal has begun. Your donations are critical to our work. Donation link: green button above.

We connect people to nature, like our parent organization, the National Audubon Society. Our base is southwestern Westchester County, NY. We have guided field trips; nature walks; feeder and hawk watches, educational programs. At Lenoir Nature Preserve, Yonkers, we have a Butterfly and Hummingbird Garden.

Our activities are free and open to all. We are an all-volunteer organization, but could we repeat how much our chapter depends on your support? Please donate (via PayPal) to our Annual Appeal.
