TINICUM TREASURES: Our little Nature Shop
"The lack of power to take joy in outdoor nature is as real a misfortune as the lack of power to take joy in books". - Theodore Roosevelt

Tinicum Treasures, the bookstore and gift shop operated by the Friends of John Heinz Wildlife Refuge at Tinicum is located in the Cusano Environmental Education Building.

Store proceeds are used to advance refuge programs for environmental education and for conservation of wetlands, woods and habitat.

The shop is staffed by volunteers. If you like helping people and want to see the programs of the refuge succeed, you could volunteer one (or more) day(s) a month. The usual time frame is between 10 am and 2 pm, though this sometimes varies slightly. The work is easy and relaxing. Training will be provided onsite.
