Over the summer Casey Currey-Wilson, a Portland area high school student, offered to make a video for the Friends to help get the word out about our organization and our mission: to connect people to the natural world and cultivate a lifelong relationship with nature.
Currey-Wilson's first project was a sample video for use in our video contest, "Why I Love Tryon Creek State Natural Area". It does a wonderful job of capturing the joy and inspiration that people experience when they visit the park. Every time we watch it we are reminded of how important it is for children, families, adults - all of us - to spend time outdoors.
Currey-Wilson's latest contribution to the Friends' video archive is this engaging clip on the history of Tryon Creek State Natural Area and the Friends' relationship to it. We tip our hats to this budding videographer and appreciate his interest and support of the park and our organization!
