Third Thursday Treks

About this event

Join Conservancy staff on a walk while we discuss a specific ecological concept for the month. Walks scheduled for the third Thursday of each month. Inspired by Color: The Science Behind the Beauty There’s no doubt that Memphis is characterized by its trees. Although their strength is tested in our wind and ice storms, our leafy canopy shades us during warm seasons, filters our air and water, and provides smaller creatures food and shelter. As we approach the end of the year and a season of rest, changing trees also offer a spectacular color show that delights our senses. Join us for a lunchtime Third Thursday Trek to learn more about the science behind these inspiring fall colors. Register here! Trek surfaces may include paved road, limestone gravel trail, and Old Forest natural trails with uneven surfaces. Questions? Send us an email See our cancellation policy. Overton Park Conservancy is the nonprofit organization that has been caring for Memphis’s central green space since 2012. With the generous support of our community, we work each day to make the park a beautiful and welcoming place for all Memphians, as well as a valuable source of urban habitat for wildlife. The Conservancy must raise roughly 85% of our budget each year from people like you who care about the many things Overton Park has to offer. A gift of any amount helps us maintain and improve the park.
