Welcome to the Theodore Roosevelt Sanctuary and Audubon Center—a home for discovery and exploration. Managed by Audubon New York, the center was established in 1923 as the country’s first National Audubon Society songbird sanctuary. Theodore Roosevelt’s gravesite sits at the edge of the sanctuary property. Our 14 acres boast extensive native plant demonstration gardens, several small ponds, a mile of hiking trails, and our famous Bessie Potter Vonnoh fountain sculpture.
Thank you to those able to join our celebration on June 5, 2021. If you were unable to attend and would like to extend your support, your gift will greatly help critical conservation efforts.
Looking to beautify your garden had help wildlife too? We are happy to offer seasonal opportunities to get beautiful native plants grown right here on Long Island by Glover Perennials.
Our next plant sale will take place in Fall 2021. Check back here for more information as the fall season approaches.
