The Bucks County Audubon Society (BCAS) is a private, non-profit organization founded as a chapter of the National Audubon Society in 1969. Since its inception, BCAS has been dedicated to conserving wildlife, promoting awareness of environmental problems, watching birds, educating the community about the interdependence of humans and their world, and furthering the wise use of land, air, energy, and water.
The Honey Hollow Environmental Education Center is located on the Honey Hollow Watershed in Solebury Township. Because of the early conservation work carried out by local farmers and the Soil Conservation Service, the entire watershed of the Honey Hollow Creek was designated as a National Historic Landmark in 1969. It remains the only agriculturally based National Historic Landmark in the United States.
The Center is open to school and community groups for educational programs throughout the year. Educational programs have been conducted here for over 60 years.
The 8+ miles of trails are open to the public free of charge every day from dawn to dusk for hiking, birdwatching or just enjoying. Donations are welcome to defray the cost of trail maintenance.
The land is owned jointly by the Bucks County Audubon Society, Heritage Conservancy and the Crooks family.
Bucks County Audubon Society is a private 501(c)3, non-profit organization. Program support comes from memberships; bequests & individual donors; public & private agency grants; corporate & business donations; matching gifts, in-kind materials & services donations; BCAS special events, sales, and field trips; and program fees & education services. All contributions are tax deductible.
Walk the trails every day dawn to dusk. Stop by the visitor center for a map and learn about school programs and calendar of events. There are structures that remain from the farming days of the parcel now owned by the Bucks County Audubon Honey Hollow Nature Preserve. One is the old waterwheel, or watersheel.
Nearby is the old springhouse. Please be careful as you traverse these areas. The ground is uneven, hilly, and can be muddy and slippery. Please be respectful of these old structures. This cache is hidden nearby the old springhouse, and starts out with plenty of kid-friendly swag and an unactivated Signal trackable for FTF. Please rehide the cache better than you found it.
Thanks to bikebill for the following photo of the springhouse! Also a hat tip to him for the parking entrance coords. Thanks, Bill!!
Happy caching!
