Third Thursday Trek at Overton Park

As Memphians, we find ourselves seeking relief from the sweltering heat with sno-cones and trips to the nearest pool during the dog days of summer. Have you ever wondered how our local wildlife copes with the spicy temperatures?

During the August Third Thursday Trek, we’ll delve into the science of thermoregulation and consider the key adaptations that enable animals and plants to survive the Memphis summer.

Whether you’re a nature enthusiast or simply looking to connect with your community, join us to learn how we collectively stay safe during the hottest months of the year!

This program will be held on natural surface trails, limestone trails, and pavement surfaces.
