A vital part of the Wolf River Conservancy’s mission is to educate members of the community about the Wolf River and its value as a natural, educational and recreational resource. We are committed to providing quality educational programming to people of all ages, and especially to young people, the future stewards of the Wolf River as well as our local and global environment.

Besides providing educational activities for our members such as lectures and nature walks, we offer flexible programming to accomodate as much as possible the needs of any group in our community - from pre-schools and kindergartens to high schools to garden clubs and churches - offering indoor slideshows and outdoor field trips and service projects. We have built relationships within Memphis City Schools, Shelby County Schools, many private schools, Rhodes College, Christian Brothers University, and the University of Memphis.  We talk to thousands of people every year about, for example,  the connection between the Wolf River and our public drinking water and the value of our wetlands.

We are also currently working to improve the educational resources we offer through our website to educators, students, and other members of the community. Our ultimate goal is to be a valuable community resource for information about the Wolf River, as well as water quality, watersheds, wetlands, wildlife, greenways, sustainable development, resource conservation and other important topics. Please check back often as we grow!
