Description

Powdermill Nature Reserve is Carnegie Museum of Natural History's environmental research center, which is a field station and laboratory where researchers do long-term studies of natural populations in western Pennsylvania. Aside from being positioned for Appalachian-specific studies in ornithology, ecology, invertebrate zoology, and botany, the natural reserve is also a great place to spend a fun-filled day outdoors with the family. Visit the nature center with exhibits that highlight local wildlife, an indoor stream, and a marsh machine that uses a living greenhouse to purify waste water.
