Tree Hill Nature Center

Tree Hill Nature Center is a 50-acre nature preserve in the heart of Jacksonville, where seven short trails lead through forests, wetlands, and streams. A butterfly and hummingbird garden, an interactive nature museum, and live animals—from friendly pygmy goats to turtles and owls—create the perfect place for family discoveries. The spring festival, featuring the release of hundreds of monarch butterflies, is a real treat for nature lovers.
