Our foundation preserves, promotes and enhances Jacksonville’s natural areas through community engagement, education and enjoyment. Timucuan Parks Foundation will create a world-class park system that is the crown jewel of Jacksonville.
Timucuan Parks Foundation (TPF) is the 501(c)(3) charity supporting more than 23 wild parks and preserves located in the greater Jacksonville area. We keep these natural and historical environments protected, valued and celebrated. We are all stewards of the Timucuan Parks.
The Northeast Florida community has greatly benefited from true visionaries who have made our city the home of the largest urban park system in America. These extraordinary parks and preserves will be here forever, if a passionate, engaged group of friends cares about the parks, supports the parks, and spends quality time in the parks.
Timucuan Park Foundation's Great Outdoors youth programs provide service-learning and recreational opportunities with a hands-on approach to experiencing nature. In partnership with the City of Jacksonville, Florida State Parks, and National Park Service, we show local youth how to appreciate and learn from the outdoors, empowering students to become avid learners and enabling them to begin building a lifelong connection to the wilderness parks and other public lands. Our goal is to encourage outdoor recreation and environmental stewardship as life-long pursuits.
