MARSH SANCTUARY

Marsh Sanctuary is a nonprofit nature preserve in Mount Kisco, New York, dedicated to outdoor recreation, wildlife protection, biodiversity, and environmental stewardship. The 90-acre sanctuary includes the largest freshwater marsh in Westchester County, along with hiking trails, open space, a community garden, and an open meadow. It also forms part of a broader network of nearby conservation lands, connecting with the Bedford Greenbelt and neighboring preserves.

Open to the public free of charge from dawn to dusk every day of the year, Marsh Sanctuary welcomes visitors for nature walks and time outdoors; leashed dogs are permitted. Its work includes conservation management and habitat restoration, guided by a multi-year plan focused on wildlife habitat, meadow care, and native plant communities. The organization also offers programs through the Rewilding School, including activities for children, and shares news, events, and educational resources with the community. Donations help fund the stewardship and upkeep of the property, support wildlife and native flora, and preserve the sanctuary’s historic buildings.
