Education
The Memphis riverfront is a living laboratory, a place where visitors can explore and understand the richness of the living river system.
Field trips
Investigate the water systems of the Mississippi River, celebrate the ecological life of Tom Lee Park and the river and focus on the impact the park and green spaces have on public health with the free curriculum.
Every tree on the riverfront was counted and surveyed by interns in Summer 2O22. Learn about canopy diversity and the benefits of trees to the riverfront ecosystem.
