Asbury Woods Partnership

Asbury Woods does more than support trails and trees—it helps spark discovery, protect native ecosystems, and create outdoor experiences that inspire a lifelong love of nature.

Asbury Woods is more than a place—it’s a living classroom, a peaceful refuge, and a community gathering space. With 234 acres of preserved land, old-growth forests, wetlands, and winding trails, we welcome thousands each year to learn, explore, and connect with the natural world.

From school field trips to summer camps, from snowshoe treks to creek stomps, we provide year-round experiences that ignite curiosity and deepen understanding of the environment around us. Our Andrew J. Conner Nature Center and Brown’s Farm Barn are alive with education, play, and hands-on discovery for all ages.

This Erie Gives, your support helps us:

-Care for miles of trails and vital habitats

-Expand outdoor education for students and families

-Provide free public access to wildlife exhibits and environmental programming

-Sustain our mission as an independent nonprofit driven by community support

Who We Are

Asbury Woods strives to realize a future for Northwestern Pennsylvania where appreciation for and protection of natural spaces is a deeply held personal and community value.  Our mission is to inspire a greater connection to the natural world by protecting, managing, and interpreting our property; providing outdoor recreational opportunities; and offering environmental education experiences.

Asbury Woods achieves this mission through a diverse array of educational, environmental, and outdoor recreational programming for schools, community groups, families, and individuals of all ages. In addition, we manage and maintain 234 acres of preserved property which includes native species, old-growth forests, landscaped gardens, wetlands, boardwalk trails and dirt trails.

The Andrew J. Conner Nature Center at Asbury Woods is the cornerstone of educational programming, providing animal exhibits and free public access. The Brown’s Farm Barn located on Sterrettania Road provides additional programming space for summer camps, school visits and community programs. The Greenway Trail at Asbury Woods consists of adjacent tracts of land which provides a network of trails connecting Browns Farm and the Nature Center. The Greenway Trail provides ample recreational opportunities for hiking, running, biking, cross-country skiing, snowshoeing and wading in Walnut Creek.

Asbury Woods is an independent, non-profit organization whose mission is made possible by funding from program and service fees, grants, special events, and generous donations from members and patrons. Annually, Asbury Woods positively impacts more than 100,000 people who use the trails, attend festivals or participate in education and community outreach programs.
