Third Thursday Trek at Overton Park

Snapshot of the Past: Towering Trees and Memphis History

The Old Forest State Natural Area is more than a stand of trees: it holds clues to our region’s history if we look carefully.

We’ll explore these snapshots of the past during the September Third Thursday Trek, and consider the various impacts across time that have potentially shaped the forest we enjoy today.

Join us in recognizing the unique characteristics of this particular space and understanding its vital role in our community’s identity.

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

This event is pay-what-you-can, with a suggested contribution of $3 per person.
