We connect people to nature and work to preserve the environment. We are a chapter of the National Audubon Society; we are based in southwestern Westchester County, NY. We offer guided field trips; nature walks; feeder and hawk watches, educational programs. At Lenoir Nature Preserve, Yonkers, we have a Butterfly and Hummingbird Garden.
