    One of the most unique parks in the Pennsylvania state park system, the Norristown Farm Park is a working farm in continuous use since colonial times. Located close to the Morris Arboretum, just north of Norristown, the 690-acre park provides great habitat diversity for birding with over 170 species recorded. We will focus on birding at the Park’s newly established wetlands but will also visit other habitats including woods, wetlands, agricultural fields, and the floodplain along a stream. Bring binoculars. We will meet at Norristown Farm Park’s Visitors Center. There is currently one vehicle entrance into the park, located at the intersection of Germantown Pike and North Wales Road. At the intersection of Germantown Pike and North Wales/Barley Sheaf Road, make a left onto Barley Sheaf. Stay right to enter the park.
