About the Business

The Nature Conservancy's Tiger Creek Preserve, located at 674 Pfundstein Road in Babson Park, Florida, is a unique institution dedicated to the conservation of Florida's ancient ecosystems. As one of four campus preserves under TNC Florida’s Center for Conservation Initiatives, Tiger Creek Preserve focuses on education, outreach, research, and land stewardship.

Situated on the eastern edge of the Lake Wales Ridge, Tiger Creek Preserve boasts a diverse range of habitats, including hardwood swamps, pine flatwoods, sandhills, and blackwater streams. The preserve is home to a variety of threatened and endangered plant and animal species, some of which are found nowhere else on Earth.

Visitors to Tiger Creek Preserve can explore over 10 miles of hiking trails, offering opportunities to observe wildlife, wildflower blooms, and unique habitats. The preserve is open year-round from sunrise to sunset and can be accessed from three different entrances.

In addition to its conservation efforts, Tiger Creek Preserve is also part of The Great Florida Birding and Wildlife Trail, offering exceptional wildlife viewing opportunities. Visitors are encouraged to use the iNaturalist and eBird apps to record their observations and contribute to scientific research.
