Hunt-Parker Sanctuary
The crown jewel sanctuary in Bedford Audubon’s sanctuary
system, the James Ramsay Hunt and Mary Welsh Parker Memorial Sanctuary boasts a
well-established marked trail system through a variety of habitats.
The Hunt-Parker Sanctuary is one of three properties that is
owned and operated by the Bedford Audubon Society. At 318 acres, 120 acres are
in the Town of Lewisboro and 198 acres are in the Town of Bedford. The original
gift of land was made to the National Audubon Society by neighbor and member
James R. Hunt of Bedford in memory of his late son of the same name. There were
several subsequent smaller donations of land made by other members of the Hunt
family.
Mary Welsh Parker of Todd Road, Katonah (Lewisboro), made a
generous gift of her 120-acre property and farmstead to Bedford Audubon Society
in 2001. This land is, contiguous with the Hunt property, and the two now form
the Hunt-Parker Sanctuary.
Bylane Farm now serves as Bedford Audubon's headquarters.
