Our beloved Old Forest in Overton Park is classified as a State Natural Area by the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation (TDEC). Who is TDEC and what do they do? At next Tuesday's Science Café, TDEC's Director of Conservation and State Naturalist Roger McCoy will highlight the important work of the Bureau of Conservation, sharing research on rare species he’s worked with and the strategies used to protect natural communities. He'll also provide insights into the process of selecting new natural areas for conservation. Don’t miss the opportunity to learn about the preservation of Tennessee’s unique ecosystems! Register today at https://www.overtonpark.org/sciencecafe.

Saturday night was truly magical! Thanks to everyone who came out to honor Tina Sullivan, enjoy great food and music, and appreciate the lovely atmosphere of Overton Park after dark. We were thrilled to announce that in celebration of Tina's 12 years of incredible work on behalf of the park, we have created a Tina Sullivan Fund to invest in the Conservancy's education and forest research programs, and more than $31,000 has been contributed so far! If you'd like to be a part of this fund, make your gift today at https://www.overtonpark.org/donations/tina.

🚧 Heads up! 🚧

Starting October 28, the @metalmuseum will begin demolition of the Rust Hall annex buildings next to the Shell as part of their exciting expansion. The work is expected to take approximately a week. We’ll keep you updated if the schedule changes, but please plan for some construction activity in the area during that time. We’re sorry for any inconvenience this may cause! Stay tuned for more updates! #MetalMuseum #OvertonPark #MMExpansion
