ANNUAL MEMBERSHIP!
When you gave us a follow on social media, you made a statement that Pearson's Falls & Glen matters to you, and that you are willing to invest in its future.
We are proud to announce that the Tryon Garden Club is now offering Annual Memberships to Pearson's Falls & Glen, a deeper level of connection to the preserve and to the Club that has protected it for nearly a century. In the spirit of our founding mission to preserve and protect; to educate and collaborate; and to beautify and treasure, this is simply the next chapter in a very long story.
New Annual Memberships will be available soon at the following rates:
Individual Membership (one adult): $100/year
Household Membership(two adults and dependent children 12 and under): $150/year
Annual Membership includes:
- Unlimited admission to Pearson's Falls & Glen for the full membership year;
- Four free guest passes per year;
- $10 discount on all programming at the preserve;
- Membership in the Tryon Garden Club*
*Since 1931, the Tryon Garden Club has owned and preserved Pearson's Falls & Glen. Your membership helps protect this national treasure.
We also continue to offer our Friends of the Falls program - a budget-friendly option for those who want to stand behind this place in a meaningful, ongoing way. At just $25 per year, it remains an impactful program anyone can do for the future of the Glen.
We will let you know when both Membership and Ticketing/Reservations go live!
Please note…
General admission has always been, and will always be, our biggest source of support for the Glen. That's not changing. Annual Membership isn't replacing this, it's simply an option for folks who visit regularly or want to give a little extra to help with our conservation efforts.
Children 13 and up have always paid full admission, but we have made all children under 12 free. That's new.
Also, Friends of the Falls is still just $25/year: first visit free with 20% discounts following.
We probably don't say this enough, but we are a non profit 501c3 that does not receive any supplemental income. Our preservation costs are fully funded by our admission and programming fees. These costs have more than doubled since our last fee adjustment in 2012. Helene caused an enormous loss of revenue the past 18 months, and it has taken a great deal of time, effort and resources to ensure that we can share this very special place with all of those who cherish it.
Our mission is to preserve and protect the Rich Cove Forest of Pearson's Falls and Glen.
And it is a mission we are asking all of our visitors to be a part of, whether as a day visitor, a friend, or a membership holder.
