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

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

The Henry Morgenthau

Located in Pound Ridge, New York, this is the newest
addition to the roster of BAS sanctuaries. The preserve is set along the
shoreline of Blue Heron Lake and includes within its boundaries a portion of the
lake, a small offshore island, a number of wetland areas, a small pond, vernal
pools, and several small streams.
