Tree Hill Nature Center is an urban wilderness preserve comprising 50 acres of hilltop and wetland areas, consisting of southern mixed hardwood forest, mixed hardwood swamp and freshwater stream. The Tree Hill Nature Center property was acquired for the purpose of preserving environmentally sensitive flora and fauna, expanding environmental education programs, facilitating greater environmental awareness and protecting the property from encroaching development. This park offers an indoor nature center, interactive exhibits, learning laboratory, wildflower gardens, meeting room, gift shop, nature trails and wildlife viewing areas. The original 40 acre site was expanded by 10 acres by an FCT grant in 1998, and has been developed to include nature trails, outdoor classrooms, an amphitheatre and additional parking.
