Hillsborough FL Nature Tours app enhances conservation parks and nature preserve visits with information on natural features, flora, and fauna
Have you ever been on a hike and wondered about that geologic formation in front of you, or why that dead tree is still standing? You can download the free Hillsborough FL Nature Tours app in the App Store or Google Play Store and get answers to some of your questions. The app includes maps of the conservation parks and nature preserves and uses GPS to show visitors where they are.
As you approach a specific area, the app brings up photos and an audio tour explaining what you are seeing.
The Hillsborough FL Nature Tours app outlines each park's popular features and amenities and describes the flora, fauna, and points of interest specific to each property.
