Three years ago Mary Welsh Parker gave the Bedford Audubon
Society a manicured 300-year-old estate in Katonah. The 120-acre property,
called Bylane Farm, has reverted to its natural state. Now part of the
Hunt-Parker Sanctuary, it has so far attracted 60 species pf butterflies, close
to 500 species of moths, and 29 dragonfly/damselfly species. A highlight this
past fall was a rare visit by a queen butterfly. The chapter, which offers
butterfly walks in spring, summer, and fall, plans to create a butterfly garden
and develop the site further to promote native plants and animals.
