About Us 

Peace Valley Nature Center is a facility of Bucks County Department of Parks & Recreation. The nature center was established in May 1975. The Friends of Peace Valley Nature Center, a 501c3, was incorporated in 1978 to provide support through supplementing staffing, funding and programming. 

Our Goal is to provide, manage and maintain an outdoor living museum and environmental education facility for Bucks County:

• To serve as a refuge and diverse habitat for wildlife—both plants and animals.
• To set aside a place where county citizens and other visitors can enjoy the peace and beauty of a natural area.
• To encourage and promote environmental awareness through a variety of educational experiences.
  

Friends of Peace Valley Nature Center

The mission of the Friends of Peace Valley Nature Center (FOPVNC) is to support PVNC and the Bucks County Department of Parks and Recreation in carrying out the above purpose. The emphasis of the Friends of Peace Valley Nature Center is to provide the margin of excellence in the field of environmental education and to help maintain the integrity of Peace Valley Nature Center’s outdoor classroom.

The FOPVNC is a 501(c)(3) organization that depends on donations, program income, membership, and the Sunflower Shop for funding. We are fortunate to have a community that provides both financial and volunteer support.
