The Marshlands Conservancy is a gorgeous wildlife sanctuary located in Rye, New York.
In June of 2023, I brought my wife and myself for a visit to the Conservancy and we loved traveling through and viewing the massive forest, the meadow, and the multitude of wooded trails.
The Marshlands Conservancy is said to be the home for over 230 different species and my wife and I were fortunate to see various different birds and deers roaming the forests.
If you enjoy outdoor excursions and love viewing wildlife, then you should definitely visit the Marshlands Conservancy!!!

Very nice park to hang out and have a walk with anybody or alone. The turkeys and deers are pretty used to humans, and u can see them very closely. Some nice spots for photo shots, and u will not suffer with mosquitoes either.
Went with my boyfriend on an adventure date & took some great photos of the water and sunset đ đ Such a nice place for exploring nature đ
Discriminatory, and unfairly hostile male staff.
We visited Easter Sunday morning with the intent of making a meaningful donation, but was unfortunately met with so much hostility and discrimination from the male staff on duty that we will be looking for another preserve to donate to.
As frequent hikers and nature preserve visitors, we know that pets are not allowed in conservancies for good reason, but I do have a US trained and certified service dog (NOT emotional support) for a valid, personal reason.
The male staff - without understanding that my dog was a service animal - came shouting at me and my husband using a rude and accusatory tone - despite our patiently answering all his questions and willingness to show proof for the service animal:
The staff aggressively asked in front of other guests why we didnât read the signs (that pets were not allowed on premise). When we said my dog was a service animal, he didnât believe us and said âthat is an emotional support animalâ and that we needed to show a âservice animal tag/vestâ - this isnât actually required by the Disability Act. We do have a vest and ID tag but just did not bring with us that morning, knowing theyâre not required by the Disability Act as evidence.
When we offered to show him the service animal letter and certification - which ARE the only forms of proof needed to comply with the Disability Act - the staff refused to see the letter and continued to angrily dismiss us for ânot having a vestâ, saying âyou better have it with you next timeâ, and tried to take down our car license number in an intimidating manner.
We visited and answered the staffâs questions in complete good faith and respect for the wildlife. Our small service dog is well trained, and was very quiet in my arms throughout the visit to the Conservancy.
We are so disappointed to be met with such unwarranted and unfair aggression (on Easter Sunday) at a place that was supposed to welcome a positive and serene experience, according to previous reviews.

Amazing please to visit, nature walk, specially for birds watchers. We met with a kind volunteer who welcomed us, gave us a quick lay of the land and suggestions on where to go. We will be back and visit again soon.
Such a lovely and relaxing place to walk and see deer and other wildlife. Plus the views when you reach the water are beautiful. Get to see all the mansions on the other side! Note:. No dogs are allowed.
Beautiful place for a walk anytime of year. We've been coming here for years. It feels a little too crowded some days, so try for an off time.
