The Uwchlan Township Environmental Advisory Council is thrilled to share the Nature Learning Trail at Baird Park (get directions). This innovative trail is part of the Heart of Uwchlan project and helps people learn about the interesting biodiversity in the park.

Learning Trail Stations

The trail takes learners through 15 learning stations, placed around the park. Most stations are marked by a unique and whimsical LEGO birdhouse, generously donated by Longwood Gardens from their winter "critter tree." Each birdhouse includes a QR code that, when scanned, provides information about a nature feature in that spot.

Scan the QR Code in the Information Kiosk by the parking lot for a digital copy of the Learning Trail Map. Physical copies of the map are also available in the Administration lobby.
