    Laurel Hill claims status as the first garden cemetery in the United States, and who could be more welcome visitors to a garden than birds? We will walk through this beautiful park-like landscape – 78 acres of green space in the middle of the city – while taking in gorgeous views of the Schuylkill River, and learning about the site’s history as a world-renowned arboretum. In doing so, we will also aim to identify the many bird species, trees, and horticultural specimens that still populate the site.

     

    Share your knowledge or just enjoy nature and the blooming springtime all around you. Bring binoculars should you wish.
