The John Heinz National Wildlife Refuge at Tinicum protects Tinicum Marsh, the largest remaining freshwater tidal wetland in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
Birdwatchers have recorded more than 300 species of birds in the refuge or nearby. Migratory birds such as Canada geese, great blue herons, egrets, killdeer, sandpipers and a large variety of ducks use the refuge as a resting and feeding area.
The area is one of the few in the state where the state-listed threatened red-bellied turtle and endangered southern leopard frog can be found.
Throughout the year, the Cusano Environmental Education Center sponsors nature walks focused on a specific activities including beginning and advanced birdwatching and nature photography. Contact the refuge for details.
