Hey everyone! Everest here. I apologize for my blog hiatus; I have been so busy helping the Rangers set up for Starry Nights. I'm back on the web to let you know of another exciting event happening here. From living at the Park, my buffalo pals and I have learned all about ways to help protect our environment, like recycling! Our friends at Revolutions Community Bicycle Shop have developed a creative, inspiring, one might even say revolutionary recycling program that benefits the Memphis community. Revolutions takes used bicycles, deconstructs them, and uses the parts to build like-new bicycles. This holiday season, Shelby Farms Park is teaming up with YMCA and Revolutions to provide Mid-South kids with recycled bikes. The kids will get a tour of the bike shop and learn all about how it works. A few weeks later, they'll get to visit me at the Park and take their new bikes for a trail ride! If you'd like to help out, drop off your used bike anytime at the rack in front of the Visitor Center. You can also drop off donations at Revolutions, 1000 S. Cooper St., during the following hours: Sunday 2-5pm, Monday 6:30-8:30pm, and Thursday 6:30-8:30pm.
