A new structure near the Wightman Mansion has been built for visitors to put ribbons in remembrance of loved ones. The exhibit on the Main Floor of the County Office Building at 148 Martine Avenue in White Plains is open to the public during regular business hours. More interesting reads.
The Lenoir Preserve is a 40-acre nature preserve that includes forests and field habitats, among other things. The aqueduct, which lies close to it, is situated on hills overlooking the Hudson River, affording wonderful views of the river.
A variety of attractive specimen trees and plants brought from all over the globe may be seen on the site, which was originally home to two Hudson River estates and is now a private residence. Copper beech trees from Europe, gingko trees from Asia, and Douglas firs from the Pacific Northwest are among the outstanding specimens in this collection. These imports join the ranks of native sugar maples, red oaks, hemlocks, pines, and tulip trees in providing habitat for various animals, including woodpeckers, owls, and bats, among other species.
Every spring and fall, bird lovers converge to a single location to see large hawk migrations. Participants in the official raptor tracking counts will learn about raptor identifying marks such as flying patterns and silhouettes. In addition, they will get the opportunity to participate in official tracking counts of raptors.
The butterfly garden is most active during the summer months when a wide variety of butterflies frequents it. A dragonfly pond nearby offers the essential habitat for a diverse range of aquatic insects while also attracting birds and other animals to the area. It is entirely up to volunteers from the Hudson River Audubon Society to keep the butterfly and hummingbird garden in good condition. In addition, the Nature Center is home to a wide variety of natural history displays.
