Frick Environmental Center Programs
Adults | Children | Families
People of all ages discover extraordinary treasures at Frick Environmental Center (FEC), which offers programs about the park's habitats and ecology. The 151-acre Frick Woods Nature Reserve offers an opportunity to see Pennsylvania's native plants in its meadows and woodlands. The center serves as the starting point of an extensive trail system—including a handicap-accessible trail through the woods—used for educational programs and nature walks. Nature programs, including day camps and school and family programs-continue year round on the grounds of the Frick Woods Nature Reserve.
