Historic Landmark
Honey Hollow Watershed: Inventory of Natural Resources
The Honey Hollow Watershed was designated as a National Historic Landmark in 1969, the first watershed in the United States to demonstrate that wildlife conservation, flood prevention, and enhanced agricultural techniques could be achieved through cooperative local action.
In 1972, the Honey Hollow Watershed Association (HHWA) conducted inventories of the physical and biological components of the area. HHWA then published the Inventory of Natural Resources in a Bucks County Watershed … Honey Hollow. A second edition with updates and additions was published in 1978.
To explore how the watershed had fared in the 50 years since the original inventory, in 2022 Bucks Audubon conducted a similar assessment of the area’s natural history and published Honey Hollow Watershed—Revisited 2022. The report contains the recent inventory results and presents them alongside the 1972/77 findings.
