About Buttonwood Nature Center
Buttonwood Nature Center is a 40-acre natural area in Waynesboro, Pennsylvania, where visitors explore trails and discover local wildlife during daylight hours. The center runs educational programs including the Wee Wonders series for preschoolers at Pine Hill Recreation Area, SOAR bird walks held on first and third Saturdays, and stargazing events where visitors learn to use telescopes. A Creatures of the Night program explores nocturnal animals, while a StoryWalk at Pine Hill Recreation Area combines nature with storytelling. Seasonal activities include a Pumpkins and Apples Fall Festival. Visitors encounter Eastern Ratsnakes, also known as Black Rat Snakes, and other wildlife native to the region. The center serves families with young children, naturalists of various ages, and anyone interested in outdoor learning and nature stewardship. A visit involves walking the grounds, attending classes or guided programs, and observing the animals and ecosystems across the property.
