Join BirdPhilly as we explore the historic Mount Moriah Cemetery. First established in 1855, the rolling landscape has been an inclusive final resting place for Philadelphia’s diverse population. After the cemetery was abandoned by its owners, The Friends of Mount Moriah have been working diligently since 2011 to restore this beautiful green space. 

We will meet at the Yeadon side entrance, and plan to bird for 1 to 2 hours.

The Yeadon side entrance is located at these GPS coordinates:  39.93306, -75.23813  or follow this link: https://maps.app.goo.gl/iSyeepyn2UBGyAc1A
There is a small parking area to the left of the entrance if you plan on driving.

The terrain is somewhat hilly with a mix of paved and grass paths.

Unfortunately, there are no public restrooms.  

No binoculars? No worries! Birding backpacks with binoculars and field guides are on loan at the following local Philly libraries: Andorra, Cobbs Creek, Cecil B. Moore, Chestnut Hill, Eastwick, Falls of Schuylkill, Fishtown, Fox Chase, Greater Olney, Independence Library, Logan, Lovett Memorial, Northeast Regional, Oak Lane, Parkway Central, Richmond, South Philly, Torresdale, West Philadelphia Regional, and Widener.
