Group Visits & Presentations
Birding in Katonah by Janelle Robbins
We pride ourselves on being the local authority on birds and habitat—and would love to share our passion with your students or group!
While our Sanctuaries and Leon Levy Native Garden are free and open to the public every day from dawn until dusk, we also offer an impressive slate of free environmental education opportunities as well as customized programs for scheduled group visits, presentations, and special events that feature our professional staff.
Because we’re often conducting conservation research or restoration projects, we need to plan ahead to make sure we can accommodate your groups of 10 or more so know you’ll have the best possible experience.
Bedford Audubon also works with local community service organizations to make our programming available to more members of our community and to connect even more people with nature.
Group Visits to Hawkwatch
Group visits (10 or more) to the Hawkwatch must be scheduled two weeks in advance with Bedford Audubon.
This program is available to be scheduled from 9am to 5pm seven days a week in September and October.
Email info@bedfordaudubon.org to schedule your Hawkwatch field trip.
Native Habitat Garden Tours
We would be happy to lead your group on a tour of the Leon Levy Native Garden! This is a perfect outing for a Garden Club, Naturalist Club, or Homeowners’ Association looking to incorporate native plants into the community landscape.
Garden Tours may be scheduled for May through September, and each month offers something new and different—so let us know what you’re most interested in seeing and learning about.

Community Presentations
Are you looking for a conservation professional to give a talk to your library, club or group?
Presentations are typically 45 minutes long, with an additional 15-20 minutes for questions. We can come to you, or we can host a group of up to 25 at Bylane Farm.
Bedford Audubon currently offers the following presentations for students and adults:
- Basic Bird Identification
- Native Plants for Birds (& Butterflies)
