Dear Muddy Boots Families,
The Muddy Boots Family Nature Club is in the process of transitioning to new leadership. While Jess Hoylman and Angela Fojtik have provided incredible vision and direction during the initial growth of Muddy Boots, throughout the past few months the necessity of a permanent home for this club has become apparent. The Friends of Tryon Creek are excited to provide this home! While the Friends will certainly host Muddy Boots events here at Tryon Creek State Natural Area, the Friends plan on continuing to provide experiences throughout Portland as Jess and Angela had originally planned.
The Friends look forward to using our connections with other providers of environmental and experiential education to offer families a plethora of opportunities for getting outside and developing a relationship with the natural world. As the Muddy Boots Family Nature Club continues to grow under the Friends leadership, please visit these webpages for listings of upcoming Muddy Boots events, family nature programs happening throughout the region, nature oriented activities for families to complete on their own, and much more. It is the Friends goal to provide Muddy Boots families with all the information and activities a family could need in becoming engaged with Portland’s wildside.

As the Friends continue this transition and get to work on the Muddy Boots website we ask that you please allow us some time to get things fully up and running, but feel free to e-mail us at muddyboots@tryonfriends.org if you have any comments or suggestions. We look forward to continuing this exciting new chapter with you and providing our children with formative and fun outdoor experiences.
See you soon,
Matthew Collins
Education Director
