Environmental Education:
Tims Ford State Park’s environmental programs are for all age groups. The programs are designed to support local school science curriculums, allow scouts to earn merit badges and provide family-friendly afternoon outings. Experience-based, hands-on opportunities abound. They include ranger-led hikes to see our Wildlife Ambassadors in their natural habitat; conservation programs; crafts and games designed to enhance learning. We have something for every member of the family, classroom or church
