Friends of Tryon Creek State Park offers educational opportunities
at Tryon Creek State Natural Area, an urban forest in
southwest Portland. A variety of educational programs investigating
different elements of forest ecology are available. The
Friends offer morning-only and full-day field trips, teacher
workshops and teacher hikes at the park. They also bring traveling
programs to metro-area schools. Field trips consist of
indoor, hands-on lessons and longer, trail-based hikes in the
forest. Traveling programs use interactive activities to explore
forest ecology topics in the classroom. Participants must preregister
for both field trips and traveling programs.
