Audubon Pennsylvania strives to conserve and restore the habitats we share with wildlife, primarily focusing on birds. With a century's worth of conservation history, Audubon works with communities to raise awareness about the importance of protecting the environment. Our programs aim to educate people from all strides of life and encourage them to explore what is right in their backyard.
Bird Walks
Free Saturday morning walks with a guide.
Want to discover what birds are living in your neighborhood? Come see the amazing variety of bird species at the Strawberry Mansion Reservoir on a walk led by a local ornithologist (that means bird expert!). No pre-registration required. Binoculars are available to borrow.
'Round the Reservoir
Free guided tours of the Center and grounds.
Come explore The Discovery Center and all that it has to offer! Bring a bagged lunch to our multi-purpose room and learn about the topic of the day: birds, the environment, the city of Philadelphia and more. After, enjoy a tour of the building and a guided trail walk (about 1.2 miles round trip). No pre-registration required.
Native Container Gardening

Want to help birds in your backyard? Our container garden workshop discusses native plants and their benefits to Philadelphia residents and wildlife.

Come grow with us and make your backyard a little greener. Pre-registration required. Please email: info@discoveryphila.org
