Rangers with NPS will be presenting their Timucuan Times program from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Visitors will have the chance to learn about the Native Americans in Florida and how they hunted, what they ate, what they wore and how they created shelter.
The hands-on activity will showcase the tools used by the Timucua Indians including arrowheads and pottery. Visitors will get a chance to see and feel the tools along with pelts from animals that were key to survival as they learn about the cultural aspects of the first inhabitants of North America.
“Timucuan Parks Foundation: Celebrate and Explore Our Wilderness Parks” is on display through May 31, 2020. Special engagement activities take place once a month throughout the run of the exhibition which features Jacksonville’s parks and preserves through the eyes of local artists. It includes four park paintings by Kathy Stark, a video of drone footage captured by Tom Schifanella, and still images taken by photographer Will Dickey.
The exhibition also features information about TPF’s decades of work to protect local parks and preserves and what they are doing moving forward to promote and enhance the natural areas. The monthly engagement activities are made possible by a sponsorship from Berry & Co. Real Estate.

Timucuan Parks Foundation’s 20th Anniversary Exhibition at MOSH features Special Activities this Saturday
Entrance to the museum is free as part of Jax AquaFest
Jacksonville, Fla., Jan. 28, 2020 – Timucuan Parks Foundation’s 20th Anniversary Exhibition at the Museum of Science and History will feature special activities on Saturday, Feb. 1 as part of Jax AquaFest. Admission to the museum is free courtesy of the City of Jacksonville’s Environmental Protection Board. From 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., the National Park Service will be teaching museum-goers about the benefits of living shorelines and how they are used to protect historic structures. A living shoreline utilizes natural materials like plants, sand or rocks to provide a protective and stabilized coastal edge. Participants will also be able to design their own living shoreline that they can take home.
Timucuan Parks Foundation will also be presenting its Wetlands Enviroscape which is a hands-model designed to show how things like litter, pet waste and fertilizers can affect the health and resilience of waterways and coastal ecosystems. The demonstration teaches how the community can help protect those waterways by using best management practices. It gives a visual of how wetlands can help with ecological restoration, specifically flood mitigation and pollution filtering.
These activities at MOSH will be held in conjunction with Jax Aquafest. The day of activities, sponsored by Jacksonville’s Environmental Protection Board, is a collaboration by environmental advocates who will showcase ways the community can protect, reclaim and conserve water for future generations. It will include special guest speakers, river tours, a touch tank, a museum scavenger hunt and face painting.
Each month, the National Park Service hosts activities at MOSH during TPF’s 20th Anniversary Exhibition which runs through May 31, 2020. The exhibition, titled “Celebrate and Explore Our Wilderness Parks,” features information about TPF’s decades of work to protect local parks and preserves and what they are doing moving forward to promote and enhance the natural areas.
