Stop in and we’ll help you to pick the right bird-feeding set up for your backyard including feeders that deter squirrels, suet cakes that make woodpeckers happy, and our very own Beechwood Blend Birdseed, formulated for the birds in our area.
Tree and Shrub Sale
Fall is a great time for planting! During the month of October, take advantage of an extra 15% discount on all native trees and shrubs at the Nature Store.
That’s a total of 25% off for members and 15% off for nonmembers.
Planting in the fall helps establish a strong root system so plants are ready to flower, fruit, and grow come spring!

PA Bats at Succop Nature Park Wednesday, October 28th 5:30pm-7pm Join ASWP in welcoming PA Game Commission Wildlife Biologist Stacy Beers for a program all about bats at Succop Nature Park! This is a family-friendly program with a presentation and possible outside portion. The program will be in our classroom accessed via the lower level of the big red barn. We’ll discuss our native bats, their beneficial qualities, and safety around bats as a way to celebrate bat week. Stacy Beers is a wildlife biologist for the Pennsylvania Game Commission (PGC), covering the northwest region. Previous positions within the PGC include focusing on wind energy - bird and bat conflicts, and wildlife habitat. Stacy’s background has predominately involved bats. She now works on a variety of species from black bear to waterfowl to yep, you guessed it bats still! She received her A.S. in Wildlife Technology and B.S. in Wildlife and Fisheries Science from Penn State University and her M.S. in Biology from East Stroudsburg University. Her M.S. thesis considered variation in bat activity and insect abundance along an elevational gradient.
