Bedford Audubon Society owns and manages 558 acres of land at three sanctuaries, all located in northeastern Westchester County. The sanctuaries are open to the general public dawn to dusk and admission is free. Click on a sanctuary's name for more information and travel directions.

James Ramsay Hunt and Mary Welsh Parker Memorial Sanctuary
Without a doubt, the crown jewel of Bedford Audubon's sanctuary system, the Hunt-Parker Sanctuary, located in the towns of Bedford and Lewisboro, New York, boasts a well-established marked trail system through a variety of habitats. Click for a trail map of the Hunt-Parker Sanctuary.

Palmer H. Lewis Memorial Sanctuary
Located in the town of Bedford, New York, this is the smallest of Bedford Audubon's sanctuaries.

Ruth Walgreen Franklin and Winifred Fels Memorial Sanctuary
This property, located in the town of North Salem, New York, has existed in an undeveloped state for many years while in Bedford Audubon’s possession. Recently, work has begun to establish a marked trail system, foot bridges, parking area and signage for the property. Click for a trail map or a topographical map of the Franklin-Fels Sanctuary.
