Come Visit the Churchville Nature Center!
Trails Open Dawn to Dusk ----- Visitor Center: Tues - Sun, 10-5
We are an environmental education facility of the Bucks County Department of Parks & Recreation located on a 65 acre nature preserve adjacent to the Churchville Reservoir in Northampton Township. Founded in 1964, we were the first nature center in Bucks County. We have lots to see and do here at CNC, and we hope you take advantage of what we offer. You can take a leisurely hike through our two miles of trails, visit our beautiful native wildlife gardens, journey through our exhibit filled visitor center, or participate in one of the various programs offered throughout the year including themed events, weekend programs & nature walks, our seasonal Native Butterfly House, campfire programs, summer camps, and even scheduled educational programs for schools, scouts, birthday parties, and private groups.
This website will guide you through who we are & help you plan your next visit with us!
See you soon!
Join us as we celebrate sixty years of environmental education, preservation, and stewardship in Bucks County. Keep an eye out for special events and activities throughout the year.

Found an Injured Wild Animal or Need to Rehome a Pet?
We are NOT a wildlife rehab and are NOT equipped to properly take care of injured or baby wildlife. We also do NOT have the resources to adopt pets.
Please click HERE to go to a page where we have compiled information on area wildlife rehabilitation centers and places that rehome pets.
Above is the 2024 perennial booklet. Additional species may be added to the sale during the summer. We will have a small selection of trees and a selection of annuals available during the sale as well. Visit us starting April 27th at 10:00 am to purchase new additions for your gardens.
