Berks Nature es el principal agente para la conservación del medio ambiente en el condado de Berks.

Como organización de conservación sin ánimo de lucro 501(c)(3), Berks Nature ha estado sirviendo a la comunidad del condado de Berks desde 1974. La preservación de la tierra, la protección del agua, la gestión de senderos, los jardines comunitarios, los programas educativos, el Estado del Medio Ambiente, el Eco-Campamento y nuestras valiosas asociaciones son el centro del trabajo de Berks Nature cada día.

Esperamos que se una a nosotros convirtiéndose en un Campeón de la Naturaleza. Disfrutará de beneficios exclusivos, a la vez que apoyará programas que ayudan a conectar a las personas con la naturaleza y a mantener la belleza natural del condado de Berks.

The Nature Place is FREE to Visit!

575 Saint Bernardine Street, Reading, PA 19607

Open Tuesdays and Saturdays
10:00 am – 3:00 pm

We are CLOSED to the public for the rest of the week.

Starting in 2026, The Nature Place – Reading’s own nature center – is now included on BARTA’S Route 9 schedule. This vital link now provides routine, reliable transportation from the heart of Reading directly to the nearly 90-acre Angelica Creek Park and back to the BARTA Transportation Center on Franklin Street.

With nature access now integrated into the city’s infrastructure, the benefits of our great outdoors are finally just a bus ride away!

I didn't want to let even one day go by without thanking [the Berks Nature staff] for a wonderful morning. Everyone loved learning about your sustainability, history, and walking through the nature habitats. It was one of our best planned and organized tours; professional and so informational... It was a perfect day.

Berks Encore staff about their tour of The Nature Place campus with Berks Nature

"Muchas gracias por hacer que los estudiantes de 7º grado de Kutztown visiten la granja Burkholder. Esta oportunidad fue una experiencia increíblemente reveladora para todos los involucrados. Enseñar sobre las prácticas agrícolas, la sostenibilidad, el agua limpia y la compra de productos locales es una cosa, pero verlo realmente en acción es lo que cambia el marco mental.
