Riverbend and the surrounding area were inhabited by Lenape Native Americans during the 16th and 17th centuries. The land was then farmed by Welsh settlers for many years and eventually was leased to the U.S. Army to use as “Camp Discharge” where wounded Civil War soldiers recovered before returning to civilian life. Riverbend Environmental Education Center teaches environmental principles to children in Southeastern Pennsylvania through a direct connection with nature, inspiring respect for our natural world and action as aware, responsible and caring citizens.

Riverbend always has new goals and tasks when it comes to keeping their environment stable and healthy. On our trips to Riverbend we mainly do physical work to assist the employees there. This can be either tasks that make their job easier, or actually performing the same jobs side by side with them.
