"Fun with the Family"
The 1,200-acre John Heinz National Wildlife Refuge is managed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service for conservation of habitat and promotion of environmental eduction. The refuge is alive with 281 species of birds and healthy populations of mamals, reptiles, and amphibians. Ten miles of hiking and biking trails meander along the Tinicum Marsh and Darby Creek. Don’t forget your binoculars to enhance the view from the Observation Tower.
The Cusano Environmental Education Center (CEEC) was built using sustainable design techniques. The building includes a resource center, classrooms, Tinicum Treasures Bookstore, and a “living marsh machine.” The center houses many interactive exhibits and displays highlighting wetlands and wildlife.
