Saw Mill River Audubon owns eight separate sanctuaries protecting over 300 acres of critical wildlife habitat in Westchester County. People appreciate our sanctuaries for their natural beauty and places "to get away from it all" right in their own communities.

All of our sanctuaries are open to visitors free of charge, seven days a week, dawn to dusk. Please contact our office if you want to bring a group to one of our sanctuaries. [Contact office]

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. [Tours]

Boardwalk at Pruyn Sanctuary
through Gedney Swamp


Our wetland boardwalks
We have boardwalks instead of walking trails at both Pruyn & Pinecliff Sanctuaries to protect the wetland habitats. All of our sanctuary boardwalks are constructed with recycled plastic called "TriMax".
 


Our sanctuaries are maintained by a part-time caretaker. Volunteers assist on trail maintenance days.
We also rely on our sanctuary neighbors to watch over these special habitats. In addition, a group of volunteer "Trail Walkers" monitors individual sanctuaries and reports on their conditions.[Trail Walkers]

Wildlife habitat protection involves more than owning and protecting wildlife sanctuaries.

We also encourage homeowners and managers of commercial properties to make their parcels safe and attractive for birds and other wildlife. (To find out more, visit the Audubon at Home online resources from National Audubon.)

Reducing impervious surfaces, protecting water quality, planting native trees, shrubs, and wildflowers and reducing pesticide use are healthy actions that benefit both wildlife and people.

Come visit our sanctuaries!
They are open every day from dawn to dusk free of charge.
