Sanctuary History

In 1957 Laura M. Brinton donated 112 acres to National Audubon as a memorial to her husband and the following year responsibility for managing the sanctuary was assigned to our chapter.

After Laura Brinton's death in 1975, an additional 17 acres were added to the refuge by Mr. Brinton's niece, Ruth Brinton Perera. In 1991 National Audubon transferred ownership of the entire sanctuary to Saw Mill River Audubon. Management rights to an additional 27 acres were obtained from the Village of Croton-on-Hudson in 1998 raising the total area to 156 acres.
