SUMMARY:Third Thursday Treks
DESCRIPTION:Join Conservancy staff on a walk while we discuss a specific ecological concept for the month. Walks scheduled for the third Thursday of each month February-May at 4pm. Registration will be open a week before each walk. \n\n\n\n\nTracks and Signs: A Naturalist’s Exploration of the Forest\n\n\n\n\nStep into the hidden world of insects and invertebrates with magnifying glass in hand during this month’s Third Thursday Trek. \n\n\n\nJoin us for a leisurely walk through the Old Forest as we slow down and search for the remarkable evidence of tiny lives all around us. We’ll hunt for insect eggs\, feeding signs\, galls\, leaf mines\, webs\, cocoons\, droppings\, and shelters\, learning to read the forest like a naturalist. \n\n\n\nCome curious and with a willingness to get close to the mysterious!  \n\n\n\n\nRegister here!\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTrek surfaces may include paved road\, limestone gravel trail\, and Old Forest natural trails with uneven surfaces.  \n\n\n\nQuestions? Send us an email  \n\n\n\nSee our cancellation policy. \n\n\n\nOverton 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. \n\n\n\nThe Conservancy must raise roughly 85% 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.

SUMMARY:Bumble Bee Atlas Community Science Workshop [Registration Closed]
DESCRIPTION:Some bumble bee species are disappearing—and we need your eyes and skills to help protect them. Join us for a training workshop for the Bumble Bee Atlas\, a community science project aimed at gathering data needed to track and conserve bumble bee.  \n\n\n\nDuring this indoor and outdoor field workshop\, you will be introduced to bumble bee ecology and conservation and how to participate in the Bumble Bee Atlas as a community scientist. You will learn how to catch\, photograph\, and identify bumble bees in the field. Together\, we’ll search the site for bumble bees and learn how to tell them apart from other bees. \n\n\n\nWe still have a lot to learn about Southeastern bumble bees\, so we need all the help we can get to document where they occur and what habitats and plants they are using.   \n\n\n\nRegistration deadline: Friday\, May 15th\, 9am \n\n\n\n\nRegistration Closed
