Park Power: Resilience & Recreation For Memphis | Episode 241
Manage episode 443436040 series 2877118
Memphis faces the dual challenge of protecting itself from Mississippi River flooding while enhancing the environment and public spaces.
The solution lies in nature-based projects that manage stormwater, restore wetlands, and provide community amenities.
In this episode Carol Coletta of Memphis River Parks Partnership and Jake Spears of Ducks Unlimited discuss two transformative riverfront projects on either side of the river. Tom Lee Park, on the Tennessee side, offers stormwater management, flood resilience, and recreation, while a 1,500-acre park across the river in Arkansas restores wetlands and bottomland hardwood forests.
These projects reduce sediment and nutrient runoff while connecting the community to nature through trails, education, and outdoor spaces. Together, they showcase how cities can use natural solutions for environmental protection and quality of life.
