Presented by Overton Park Conservancy

Third Thursday Trek

About This Event

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. 

This program will be held on natural and pavement surfaces.  

This event is pay-what-you-can, with a suggested contribution of $5 per person.

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 90% 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.
