The Putnam Highlands Society is saddened by the sudden loss of Ken Wilson. Ken has been a regular on the PHAS walks over the last few years and his bright smile and kind personality always made the walks enjoyable. We will feel his loss on future bird walks and wish the best for his family and friends. You will be in our thoughts.

Support Local Bird and Nature Conservation Programs

All our programs and activities are delivered 100% by volunteers, however we have hard costs for maintaining the three bird sanctuary properties that we own.

We need your support now more than ever to meet expenses for insurance, professional fees, warden fees and other on going expenses.

We strive to serve bird-watchers and conservationists in Putnam and southern Dutchess Counties, delivering exciting monthly birding field trips, professional-level library programs, educational scholarships, and quarterly newsletters.

We maintain two wildlife sanctuaries, Reese Sanctuary in New Hamburg and deRham Watergrass Sanctuary in Philipstown that are open 365 days a year for hiking and nature pursuits.

Your Donation will honor or be on behalf a person or organization that you name in the “Additional Information” Section.

Thank You
