CHANGES TO OUR WEBSITE. On our website, we have broken our main page into separate tabs to better represent our mission and to provide easy access to those opportunities meaningful to you. Also, we are now including articles, resources, and other weblinks which better support your own explorations to learning, local natural areas, and sustainablility. A big part of this is the last tab, "Beyond Tryon' which directly connects you to those sources which support and connect to the Friends of Tryon Creek. In this way, our website strives to be a resource center for exploration, learning, and restoration both here at Tryon Crek and beyond.

Find out all about it at www.tryonfriends.org

Welcome to the subscriber mailing list. The purpose of this mailing list is to encourage people to visit the park either through our educational and interpretative activities, special events, through volunteer opportunities or by strolling along the trails. We will also use this mailing list to highlight park updates and trail/bridge closures as well as conservation/restoration that is happening in the park and within the watershed. We hope you find it useful.

Thanks
Friends of Tryon Creek State Park
