Join Friends of Tryon Creek to connect with and care for Tryon Creek State Natural Area. Depending on the season, Friends staff lead volunteers in removing ivy growing up mature trees, digging up blackberry along the ground, or planting and caring for new native trees and shrubs near the creek.
Volunteer activities include hiking 1-2 miles from the Nature Center to the current project location, and using hand tools like clippers and shovels; Instructions, gloves, supervision, and tools are provided (feel free to bring your own gloves).
