Tree Hill Nature Center

The Tree Hill Nature Center has existed for 39 years in Jacksonville, Florida. The center is an urban spread of wilderness that offers 50 acres of wetland and hilltop. The forest is mixed with hardwoods, swamp, and freshwater streams. The park was started as a place to protect flora and fauna. It was also meant to be a place for education regarding environmental awareness. It has succeeded in this motto for almost forty years.

The park has a nature center, interactive exhibits, wildflower garden, laboratory, meeting room, wildlife viewing areas, gift shop and plenty of nature trails. There are also outdoor classrooms and an amphitheatre on the 50 acres.

The amphitheatre can be rented by corporations, private residents, and schools. Anyone can host an event using the theater or the park land. There is a photography workshop, butterfly festival, and corporate options at the park. They also have a scout badge program.

Admission into the park and nature center is $4 for adults, $3 for students, military, and seniors, and $2 for children. Park hours are 8am to 4:30 Monday through Saturday, especially for the Tree Hill Nature Center. Guests are welcome to picnic or walk along the trails.
