The summer and fall have been very busy at Tryon Creek State Natural Area. We continued our popular summer Nature Day Camp program (800+ served), and school field trip program (1473 this fall with an additional 200 students served through our Lake Oswego School District watershed tour program). In addition we held another Muddy Boots Nature Club program and had 160 individuals participate. We see great opportunities with this program serving a population of parents with toddlers who previously had no connection to our programs. The combined social and educational aspects of this program are well appreciated by this group who are also looking to build their peer network with others who share these values and who support nurturing these types of efforts.
Financially, we continue to gather steam for our overall capacity building effort which will have a dramatic impact on the delivery of our educational programs. Grants from the Oregon Community Foundation ($10K), the Trust for Management Services ($10K) and The Collins Foundation ($8K) will go towards infrastructure support and direct funding for our field trip program. We look to finish the year in the positive and are encouraged by the support we are getting from a range of individuals and institutions.
