Greening Greater Memphis’ proposal for a network of green assets should be adopted as a priority for our community. A broad-based alliance of government, business, philanthropic organizations, and environmental groups can create momentum for an interconnected system that includes Shelby Farms Parks, CSX Greenline, and Wolf River Conservancy greenways that link the eastern edge of the county to the downtown riverfront. This necklace of green should also include the Martin Luther King and Riverside Parks to maximize the opportunity of linking the diverse areas and people of the community.
