Opportunity Details
Tryon Creek Steward Day (age 13+)*Impact Week 2022*
The mission of Friends of Tryon Creek, in partnership with Oregon State Parks, is to inspire every community to identify, cultivate or reclaim their relationship with nature in this cherished urban forest. Since 1970, Friends of Tryon Creek have provided education and volunteer experiences at Tryon Creek State Natural Area.
Volunteers are a key part in helping Oregon State Parks improve forest biodiversity at Tryon Creek State Natural Area. Fall volunteer events include hiking about two miles, working by hand and with tools to remove noxious weeds and planting native trees and shrubs. Tool safety and directions will be provided.
Please come prepared to hike and work off trail in a variety of weather conditions, layered clothing, long pants and sturdy shoes are all a good idea.
Bus access is very limited and requires a 1 mile walk from the intersection of SW Terwilliger and Boones Ferry. Parking is available in the main lot near the Nature Center.
