What's in your backyard? Meet us at Backyard Beans and find out! We will be leading a nature walk from Backyard Beans in Ambler to the Wissahickon Waterfowl Preserve, through Four Mills Nature Reserve to Wissahickon Trails' headquarters, and back. This 2-mile journey will highlight easily-accessed natural areas just outside of downtown Ambler.
 

Backyard Beans Coffee Co. has partnered with Wissahickon Trails to support the stewardship of their nature preserves and trail systems. With the purchase of Backyard Beans' "Get Outside" Coffee Blend, customers directly contribute to the maintenance and enhancement of Wissahickon Trails' open spaces. Backyard Beans encourages people to explore the outdoors and share their adventures on social media using the hashtag

#GetOutsideWithBackyardBeans
