We have recently expanded to nearby districts and private schools and introduced a public homeschool program. This longstanding public-private partnership is a win-win for Abington: it increases the Township’s capacity to provide an excellent quality of life at a much-reduced cost.īBNC has worked with the Abington School District for over five decades, providing enriched learning supplements based on curriculum. Securing grants to fund capital improvements, program enhancements, and scholarships.


The cycle continues: children that grew up at Briar Bush bring their children and their grandchildren back because it has such long-term relevance and meaning to them. Scouts, schools and corporations regularly choose BBNC as a place to perform service projects. Scouts hold sleepovers and achievement programs with BBNC. Many school-age children attend summer camp, campfires, festivals, and birthday party programs. Environmental educators and volunteers lead onsite programs and visit schools, daycares, senior living centers and other locales. Visitors return repeatedly to see their favorite Briar Bush animals, walk to the pond, watch wildlife, or play at the Nature Playscape.

Few communities have such a wonderful resource and refuge for nature and people.Ībington residents have grown up with BBNC. It is a wonderful amenity that Abington Township residents and outside sources cite as a gem in Abington. The center provides environmental education programs and nature information to the Abington community and beyond. Briar Bush Nature Center (BBNC) is an Abington Parks and Recreation facility.
