Our Mission: * Provide environmental education to individuals and groups of all ages through on-site and outreach experiences. * Protect and nurture a natural wildlife habitat. * Promote conservation of natural resources by increasing awareness and understanding of the environment. Briar Bush grounds feature over a mile of trails winding through a variety of natural habitats. Native plants and wild animals can be found here year round, especially at the heated 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 tables 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.
