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.

The List of Species is Growing.
Since the launch of our program, more than 1,500 species of plants and animals have been documented by biologists, college students, and amateur naturalists. View the data collected in the years 2017-2023 on the Honey Hollow Watershed Natural Resource Inventory – iNaturalist project page.
We are still collecting data! Visit the Honey Hollow Watershed and observe its unique species. Submit your observations, preferably with photos, to the Bucks Audubon Flora and Fauna – iNaturalist project page. Become part of a community of citizen scientists helping to document the natural treasures in this beautiful watershed.
This project is made possible by generous grants from the Marshall Reynolds Foundation, the McLean Foundation, and the Burpee Foundation.
