1. The Iroquois Nature Trail Marker
Welcome to the Iroquois Nature Trail. This trail has been created by Bushy Run Battlefield to show the environmental changes that have occurred in these Pennsylvania woodlands since the eighteenth century. When observing the many environmental changes of the area, also notice the many woodland characteristics which remain from the eighteenth century.
The trail's secondary purpose is to show the important parts, both good and bad, that man has played in this environment.
