Todd Nature Reserve

Our properties in Sarver, Butler County

Audubon holds programs at two locations in Sarver:

Todd Nature Reserve: 367 Kepple Road

Buffalo Creek Nature Park & Babcock Nature Center: 154 Monroe Road

Todd Nature Reserve, ASWP's first reserve, is part of Pennsylvania Audubon's Buffalo Valley Important Bird Area program, as well as the Buffalo Creek Watershed Conservation Plan.

We invite you to explore Todd Nature Reserve's 6 miles of hiking trails, abundant with the natural beauty of the forest, streams and a pond. The rugged landscape and rustic trails provide a welcome retreat from the highly manicured suburban world.
