Please also remember that all of our sanctuaries are closed to
visitors between dusk and dawn. We are grateful for the continuing
care of our sanctuary neighbors and volunteer TrailWalkers in protecting these special habitats.
For
protection of the wildlife and habitat and the enjoyment and safety
of our visitors, camping, fires, biking, hunting and motorized
vehicles are not permitted in any of our sanctuaries.
Road
Directions
Haas Sanctuary is located between Tripp Street and Sheather Road in New Castle. The main entrance is on Sheather Road, one half mile south of its intersection with Tripp Street.
Traveling south on Route 128 from Mount
Kisco toward Armonk, look for Sheather Road on the left about a 1/2 mile from the Mount Kisco-New Castle line. Follow Sheather Road one half mile beyond its intersection with Tripp Street. The sanctuary entrance are on the right hand, western side, of Sheather Road.
We anticipate adding a sanctuary sign to this entrance in Fall 2009 after town review. For now look for our green and white sanctuary boundary signs along Sheather Road and the trail opening in the roadside stone wall.
For the courtesy of the adjacent property owners, we request that
sanctuary visitors park on the shoulder of the road and pull off the road as much as possible. [Trail Map]

With
advance notice, we may be able to provide your group with a guided
tour. Even if your group wishes to visit without a guide, please
contact us in advance. For the best possible experience for your
group, we want to ensure that your visit does not coincide with
another group's visit. [More
About Sanctuary Tours]
Our
sanctuaries are maintained by a part-time caretaker and volunteers
on trail maintenance days. A group of volunteer "Trail Walkers"
monitors individual sanctuaries and reports on their conditions.[More
