Tanya is the Education Outreach Specialist at Churchville Nature Center in Bucks County PA. Founded in 1964, it was the county's first Nature Center. The main focuses are environmental education and the promotion of responsible stewardship within our community. The center sits on a sixty-five acre preserve adjacent to the Churchville Reservoir located in Northampton Township, Pa. Through educational programming, habitat remediation, public outreach, trash clean-ups and wildlife studies, they work to preserve the integrity of the entire eight-hundred-acre Churchville Watershed.
The preserve likes to be known as a place of peace with 2 miles of hiking trails, a large window in the visitor center where you can sit and watch the birds. There is a white pine forest; a wetland area; wildlife throughout plus more.
Supported by the Friends of Churchville Nature Center, the center offers many programs such as geology; weather; special hikes and walks; a braille trail; scout programs; Butterfly house; wildflower walk; reptile nature walk; and more. Take your kids and grandkids to the Lenape Indian Village and learn about the skills of the early Native Americans. Please go to their website at Welcome! - Churchville Nature Center . There is a lot of information on this site and you can also join and/or donate. This is a worthwhile cause and a great way to get out and enjoy nature!
