A soft opening is planned this spring for the $1.5 million Babcock Nature Center in Buffalo Township, under construction off Monroe Road next to the Butler-Freeport Community Trail.
A collaboration between the Audubon Society of Western Pennsylvania and Buffalo Township, the new 2,500-square-foot center and a 1,200-square-foot pavilion will offer programming, restrooms, refreshments, food, trail parking and more. Audubon plans to work on educational opportunities at the center and its environs with local districts and residents, as well.
