The Andrew J. Conner Nature Center at Asbury Woods is the cornerstone of educational programming, providing animal exhibits and free public access. The Brown’s Farm Barn provides additional programming space for summer camps, school visits, and community programs. The Greenway Trail at Asbury Woods consists of adjacent tracts of land which provides a network of trails connecting Browns Farm and the Nature Center. Here visitors can enjoy the ample recreational opportunities for hiking, running, biking, cross country skiing, snowshoeing, and wading in Walnut Creek.
Asbury Woods is an independent, non-profit organization whose mission is made possible by funding from program and service fees, grants, special events and generous donations from members and patrons. Annually, Asbury Woods positively impacts more than 100,000 people who use the trails, attend festivals, or participate in education and community outreach programs.
