HILDACY FARM PRESERVE
Tucked away in a hilly section of Delco is this 55-acre gem of native woodlands, wetlands, meadows and streams. Named for Hilda and
Cyril Fox, who donated the property to the Natural Lands Trust, Hildacy has 3.5 miles of unpaved hiking trails that are just waiting to be explored.
If you happen to consider yourself a budding or experienced ornithologist (bird watcher), be sure to pick up the preserve’s list of 125 species that have been spotted on the grounds, broken down into seasonal occurrence.
THE SCOTT ARBORETUM OF SWARTHMORE COLLEGE
The Delaware Valley’s native flora is on stunning display, along with more than 4,000 kinds of ornamental plants. In the fall, crabapples and hollies add pops of vibrant color to the leafy canopy.
TYLER ARBORETUM
Tyler Arboretum’s diverse tree population includes giant sequoias, ginkgo trees, bald cypresses, American linden, sugar maples, white oaks, tulip trees and many more, making for a stunning canopy each fall.
