Ranger Programs

The Timucuan Preserve staff of rangers and VIPs (volunteers-in-parks) offer a variety of ways for visitors to connect and learn.

• Ranger Talks: Twenty minute presentations offered at Fort Caroline National Memorial and Kingsley Plantation.
• Guided Tours: Ranger-led walks through historic landscapes.
• Hikes: Ranger-led walks through trail systems, includes more walking and rougher terrain. Proper footwear and water recommended.
• Open House Tours: A short ranger presentation followed by a self-guided walk through a historic building.
• Pop-Up Programs: Informational tables on a wide variety of subjects that "pop-up" on busy days with no set schedule or location. These are not listed on the calendar, but may be happening in the park right now.
• Junior Ranger Programs: Crafts, activities, and/or story-times aimed directly at our youngest park visitors.

Check out the calendar to see what is happening in the park today.
