Speaker: 
Suzanne Tuttle is a plant ecologist who retired in 2016 as Manager of the Fort Worth Nature Center &
Refuge after a 23-year career at the park. She holds a Bachelor’s degree in Biology from UT Arlington
and an Associate of Applied Science degree in Horticulture from Tarrant County Junior College (now

Suzanne has taught training classes for various North Texas chapters of the Texas Master Naturalist
program since 1999 and helped found the Cross Timbers Chapter.

Topic: Miles and Miles of Texas: My Visit to Every State Park Retirement Project
Her first retirement project was to visit every Texas State Park and State Natural Area. The COVID

insights she gained on her multi-year quest
