| Park Overview: | Butler Memorial Sanctuary was established in 1954, when Anna Butler donated 225 acres to The Nature Conservancy in memory of her husband, Arthur, an amateur naturalist. Additional acquisitions have increased the size of the preserve to 352 acres. The preserve contains 6.6 miles of trails, and many loop hikes are available. The Hawk Watch, which overlooks I-684, is considered to be the best place in Westchester County to watch the fall hawk migration. |
