Teatown Lake Reservation's mission is to inspire our community to lifelong environmental stewardship. We realize our mission through environmental education, stewardship of Teatown's preserve, and regional conservation of the Hudson Hills and Highlands. At the center of all our endeavors is teamwork and partnership, because nature conservation and environmental health are possible only when people and their communities work together for the common good. The Teatown team is made of our members, donors, volunteers, board, staff and program participants. Our successes are only possible because of their hard work and dedication to our mission. In addition, we seek collaborations with other organizations and businesses who share our vision.

What an amazing experience our visit to Noah's Park was! Since we were a bit early, we walked around the amazing property and then Chris brought us inside and introduced us to some amazing and adorable animals - we were able to actually hold most of them! We were even able to hold two baby mamosets that were just born in May!! What a treat! The place is pristine and so fascinating! We then got a tour of the outside animals - miniature horses, llamas, a porcupine and an adorable donkey - just a few of the residents! All in all, a fabulous and very memorable experience. I would highly recommend Noah's Park for all ages!!!

My girlfriend and I visited the sanctuary today and we had a great time. Our guide, Kaden did a tremendous job of bringing us around the farm to meet all the animals, describe their various situations and give us information about the different species.It's really a terrific way to spend a few hours, get some fresh air and learn a few things. On a side note, I'd like to address comments in some of the reviews I've read about so called " vegan lectures." We experienced no such thing. What we did learn is that all these animals, big and small have feelings, quirks and characteristics much the same as people. If that's something you can't handle for some reason? Your problem. Anyway, fantastic day! Thanks CAS!
