Teatown was thrilled to recently host Regeneron again for their annual Day for Doing Good! Their staff helped clear invasive plants by our Raptor Loop, add gravel to the mews to improve drainage, and plant nearly 1,000 native groundcover plants along the Three Lakes Trail.

Our Raptor Loop will be CLOSED to the public Oct 23, 24, 30, and 31 during our Enchanted Forest programs. We apologize for any inconvenience and ask that all visitors be respectful of this special event when it’s going on. The Raptor Loop will be open dawn to dusk on weekdays.

Thanks Westchester Magazine for including us in this list! westchestermagazine.com/life-style/fal… #fall #teatown
