About Us

A unique place for education, preservation, and conservation, the Churchville Nature Center is a facility of the Bucks County Department of Parks and Recreation and is an area rich with diversity. The contrasting environments of meadow, marsh, woodland, pond and lake are all within an easy walk. The center was founded in 1964 as the first nature center of Bucks County with the intention that it would become a place for people to learn about the natural world and be inspired to take an active role in its protection. Later in 1976, the facilities were expanded to include a modern visitor center, with an auditorium, exhibit area, gift shop, staff offices and a nature library. In 2014, the center was again expanded to include new classrooms, a large community room with a catering kitchen, offices and upgraded restroom facilities. The Friends of Churchville Nature Center is a supporting 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization, formed for the purpose of assisting the Churchville Nature Center in fulfilling its mission statement. The Friends raise funds through an active membership program, various fundraising events and activities, and program revenue. The monies raised support the operations through the financing of special projects and the funding of staff positions. The center hosts around 100,000 visitors each year through the various programs offered year-round.
