MLK Day of Service with The Wolf River Conservancy

 The Wolf River Restoration Series returns on Saturday, January 17th, honoring Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. 

Our 2026 MLK Service Event will be held at T.O. Fuller State Park, the first state park open for African Americans east of the Mississippi River. Founded in 1938, it was designated T.O. Fuller State Park in 1942 in honor of Dr. Thomas O. Fuller, a prominent African-American educator, pastor, politician, civic leader and author. T. O. Fuller State Park works to preserve the park's history and demonstrate how early park development fits within the context of the African American civil rights movement in Tennessee. 

Our MLK Day of Service conservation and stewardship  efforts will include: 

• Hiking trial restoration

• Playground surface renewal 

• Invasive species removal 

Join Wolf River Conservancy as we mark the holiday by working together to revitalize this historic part of Memphis and the Wolf River Watershed.
