Environment, Stewardship and Education
In addition to Fairmount Park's history, art, culture and recreational opportunities, there's a whole other side to
our park system. Amazingly, over half of the Park's 9,200 acres is comprised of natural areas - streams, woods,
meadows and wetlands - that serve as islands of wilderness in the middle of one of America's most populous cities.
For the most part, these natural areas are found in the Cobbs Creek, Fairmount, Pennypack, Poquessing, Tacony, and
Wissahickon watersheds, as well as in Franklin Delano Roosevelt Park in the Delaware Estuary.
Environmental Restoration. Education. Stewardship. They're all important to Fairmount Park and occur on a daily
basis. The Park's Environment, Stewardship and Education Division manages our environmental resources, provides
interesting and unique educational programs and works with over 98,000 remarkable volunteers each year to care for our cultural,
historical, recreational and environmental assets.
