关于我们
The mission of Briar Bush is to inspire people of all ages and backgrounds to explore and protect nature by encouraging curiosity and scientific inquiry.
Briar Bush grounds feature about a mile of trails. Native plants and wild animals can be found here year round, especially at the air-conditioned Griscom Bird Observatory, a restored cabin with natural landscaped bird feeding area just outside large windows.
The Dede Long Nature Museum is full of interactive exhibits, touch table and play areas and is home to over 30 resident animals. Visits to the museum are free for members and Abington Township residents, others pay small fee of $3/adult, $2/child over 2. All other features - trails, bird observatory, playscape, pond - are free.
A 1/4 acre of the woods have been dedicated to a Nature Playscape, a natural area with play features built from nature, including logs for balancing, stumps and rocks for hopping, a stick fort, log tunnels, and recirculating water feature.
Briar Bush offers a wide variety of fun and educational programs for individuals and groups of all ages, including hikes, animal encounters, day trips, birthday parties, summer camps and more.
Museum and grounds are open to the public 7 days a week
