National Park Service employee Tim Van Cleave was nationally recognized as a recipient of the newly established “Achieving Relevance through Safety Health and Wellness” award.

Tim was recognized for his biking program “Two Wheels Towards History: Discovering Historical Sites along the Cane River Heritage Trail.” Tim’s program combines exercise and the opportunity to visit other historical sites along Cane River that are not open to the public on a regular basis. Rides vary in length and occur every spring and fall. Partners in this program are Bike Natchitoches LLC and Red River Cyclery in Alexandria.
