VOLUNTEERS NEEDED
Database help and pulling ivy
  • This Spring we had a problem with our database which resulted in a loss of data. We have all of the original paperwork but much of it still needs to be re-entered. Could you help us out? If you can give even an hour or two, we’d greatly appreciate it. If interested, please call Melissa at 503.636.4398 for details. Thank you!
  • We also have several summertime ivy pulls coming up. These are the second and fourth Saturdays of both July and August. See side bar for specific dates and details.

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
