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 several geocaches in the preserve, and several more are set to publish as this event concludes!! Thanks OReviewer!
This CITO event will see us out on the trails pulling and pruning invasive species, especially multifloral rose. This is why you should bring pruners, clippers and loppers if you have them, as well as work gloves. Honey Hollow does have a supply of gloves and clippers as well, but is expecting other volunteers so bring 'em if you got 'em! Cachers are quite familiar with "donating blood," so this is why wearing long pants and sleeves is always a good idea. Please be prudent for pruning!
Honey Hollow tells me that they got a good start on multifloral rose removal this past autumm, filling a large dumpster full of the stuff. So let's show them what the geocaching community is like - come on out and help show them the CITO ethic!!
This is a family friendly event, and well behaved dogs are welcome in the preserve. Additionally, Honey Hollow will be providing coffee, pastries and fresh fruit at check in time, and pizza and drinks when we wrap things up!! Bottled water will also be available.
