TIMBER Packs
Discover Lyman Woods with a TIMBER Pack
Explore the woods with the help of TIMBER packs! TIMBER packs include everything you need for your self-guided journey of Lyman Woods. Each pack has a different theme (trees, insects, mammals, birds, and early residents) and contains tools for your adventure, including identification books, magnifiers, and biofacts. Use the included activities to challenge your group to use your senses, identify plants, find animal tracks, listen for bird songs, and explore geological history. TIMBER packs are perfect for families, youth groups, and school classes visiting Lyman Woods. Check out a different pack each time you visit!
