We are a chapter of the National Audubon Society and located in southwestern Westchester County, New York. We connect our community to nature through our programs and activities. All are welcome to participate. We are based at the Lenoir Nature Preserve in Yonkers where we maintain a Butterfly and Hummingbird Garden, opened from dawn to dusk year-round.
Still time to contribute to our Bird-A-Thon! Two teams found 114 species on May 17, all in Westchester county. Support their efforts by making a contribution via PayPal (button below) or by check, to HRAS, PO Box 616, Yonkers NY 10703. More…
