Quakertown Swamp is a 518-acre wetland which is recognized as significant by the Pennsylvania Natural Diversity Inventory because it is a haven for a variety of wildlife species, including beaver and waterfowl. Quakertown swamp has been listed as a first priority site in the Bucks County Natural Areas Inventory (NAI) and is listed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service as an all important wetland area. Heritage Conservancy was instrumental in securing cooperation from the United States Environmental Protection Agency for designation of the Quakertown Swamp through an Advanced Identification Program. Only seven other wetlands in the Mid-Atlantic region possess this status. More than 74 bird species nest in the swamp. In addition, the Pennsylvania Breeding Bird Census confirmed in the late 1980s the occurrence of Sora rail and marsh wren, two Pennsylvania Species of Special Concern.
