For years, they have come out regularly to beautify Veterans Plaza and the formal gardens, and this week they helped weed the gardens and trim the hedges. We're lucky to have so many amazing volunteers who invest their time in Overton Park!

Lick Creek runs through Midtown encased in concrete, but it wasn't always this way. You can see remnants of the creek's history as a floodplain by walking through the Old Forest. Next week's Third Thursday Trek, "Changing the Channel: Getting to Know Lick Creek," will take you through the history of this waterway, and even drop you down into the creek for a look around. Registration is open now at the link in our bio.
