The Edith G. Read Wildlife Sanctuary and Nature Center is a 179-acre park located on the shore of the Long Island Sound, along a migratory flyway. This sanctuary is home to a great diversity of marine life. In winter months, the 85-acre lake, a mixture of salt and fresh water, hosts over 5,000 ducks. The sanctuary has been recognized by the national Audubon Society of New York as an Important Bird Area due to its significant habitats and flyway. There are three miles of trails through forest and field. Along the half-mile of publicly accessible shore, the intertidal habitat harbors a wide diversity of plants and animals.
In 1992, a northeaster swept over the Edith G. Read Wildlife Sanctuary causing considerable erosion. The storm prompted the installation of unsightly concrete and asphalt piles to prevent future washouts. Eventually, invasive and highly adaptable common reeds took over the degraded site. In 2001, the concrete and asphalt were replaced with sandy dunes planted with native plants, such as beach grass (Ammophila breviligulata). The dunes’ core was made out of rock topped with sand. The plants’ root structures bind the sand, keeping the dunes in place so they can carry out their role as a natural storm barrier. The dunes now provide nesting and feeding habitat for native shorebirds.
Environmental education programs are offered to schools, scouts and other groups by advance reservation. Group size is limited to 30, and there is a modest fee based on group size and length of program. Topics can be tailored to the needs and interests of the group and include: intertidal ecology, marine biology, plant science and ornithology.

The Apawamis Club is located at 2 Club Road, Rye, NY 10580. Apawamis is one of the oldest clubs in our country, dating back to 1890, and became an early member of the USGA in 1897. The founders were a group of God-fearing, rugged and upright individualists who believed there was a need for an institutional meeting place to expand culture and civic consciousness of the community. To these worthy objectives were added the mental and physical improvement of its members – and to satisfy that need, a golf course, although crude, was built in 1896.
Today, Apawamis is a full-service family club offering golf, swimming, squash, tennis, and paddle tennis. With only 18 holes and a clubhouse that looks more like a rambling country home than an imposing piece of architecture, it remains a unique setting in the midst of mainstream, prestigious Westchester golf, according to a 1988 article in The Country Club magazine.
This course features the typical narrow fairways and small, fast, undulating greens that are associated with traditional designs. This club has been listed by the USGA as being one of the first 100 clubs established in the U.S. "GOLF Magazine" also gave it recognition in their 1995 list of "The First 100 Clubs in America." Water hazards come into play on four holes. Press "Blue Button" for more information about The Apawamis Club.
