Welcome to Overton Park Conservancy

This weekend, join the #citynaturechallenge, a worldwide movement to document wild nature! Hundreds of cities around the world will compete to see who can record the most observations of wildlife, and you can participate right here in Overton Park. On Saturday, April 25 at 10:00, meet us at the golf clubhouse for a BioBlitz to record wildlife such as plants, insects, fungi, reptiles, birds, and mammals. All you need is a phone and the iNaturalist app.

Last year, our community contributed close to 2,700 observations! Can we get to 3,000 this weekend? 👀

Register for the BioBlitz at the link in our bio or at https://secure.qgiv.com/for/opceventform/event/cnc/.

Memphis has multiple events happening as part of the City Nature Challenge! See the full calendar at overtonpark.org/citynaturechallenge/. ...
