The Woodlands’ 54-acre undulating landscape is at once a one-of-a-kind 18th-century English pleasure garden, 19th-century rural cemetery, and a modern green oasis for its neighbors in bustling University City and West Philadelphia. The Woodlands was designated a National Historic Landmark District in recognition of its unique history and rich resources. Actively used today, the cemetery, mansion, landscape, and programs are an educational resource for local school children, community residents, university students, as well as for a small, highly motivated cadre of scholars seeking further understanding of American architectural and botanical history, urban development, and the origin and growth of West Philadelphia. 96 species have been recorded here during the month of October. 

Please note: after the Audubon birding tour ends at 6:00 pm, you are invited to stay for After Hours at The Woodlands from 6:00 – 8:00 pm. The event is hosted by our friends at The Woodlands. Pre-registration is required. Free for members of The Woodlands; $10/person for nonmembers. Click here for registration information.
