Mark Fallon

As the senior naturalist at Briar Bush Nature Center in Abington, Pennsylvania, Mark helped launch the ACORN (Abington Children Observing Real Nature) to the public and private schools in the area.  He was involved in the installation of a butterfly house at Briar Bush, oversaw the planting of many native plants and most recently designed, installed and landscaped an outdoor Playscape at Briar Bush.  This was the first “natural” outdoor play area in Pennsylvania.  This trailblazer has truly had an emotional and intellectual impact on his community and its children.
