Johnson County Park and Recreation District's Nature and Outdoor programs at the Ernie Miller Nature Center and the TimberRidge Adventure Center, provide a wide variety of environmental and historical events for kids and adults alike. In addition to the nature and outdoor recreation atmosphere experience, our programs foster curiosity and an appreciation for nature, history and outdoor adventure.
