The group of around 20 arrives around 6:30 p.m., when the only sounds to be heard are the with Memphis Zoo animals water fountains near the front of the zoo and the last traffic leaving the parking lot. Once inside, the twilight visitors meet the first attraction, an animal ambassador. Often it is Ross, but Corley said if he does not seem eager to leave his habitat, she chooses a different animal. After time for questions and photos, the tour moves to the KangaZoo exhibit, where visitors are required to sanitize their hands and enter single file. A path, covered from above by a canopy of trees, winds around grassy islands. As visitors turn the first corner of the trail, they are met with the attentive eyes of some 20 red kangaroos. Ranging in size from adult to quite small, the kangaroos are loose in the exhibit with the visitors, who can wander as the kangaroos slowly return to their business at hand before the human interrup- tion. Guests who are willing to sit or stand calmly in one place are greeted by curious kangaroos. The animals don’t allow themselves to be petted but some will come within feet of the right person. Zoo guides point out that the kangaroos are more active around dusk, making for what some Twilight Tour visitors described as an unusual experience. “I have been coming to the Memphis Zoo all my life,” said Memphis native Krista Tyler during the May 21 tour, “and I have never seen the zoo quite like this. I love that it’s pretty much empty and ev- erything is still and calm.” After about 30 minutes, guides lead the guests Animal interpreter Bella Corley feeds Ross the opossum during a Twilight Tour of Memphis Zoo.

    November 30, 2018 Don Jones Shelby County Office of Planning and Design 125 N Main St Memphis, TN 38103 RE: PD 18-42 Nutbush/Wells Station Landfill Dear Mr. Jones, Wolf River Conservancy is dedicated to the preservation and enhancement of the Wolf River and its watershed for the benefit of the public. Wolf River Conservancy opposes this landfill. The City of Memphis, Shelby County, and nonprofit organizations work daily to improve quality of life of residents and restore the floodplain. This landfill project potentially harms Memphis’ drinking water source, quality of life, and protection from flooding. Additionally, this construction and demolition (C&D) landfill creates blight for years to come, visible to thousands each day along I-40. Below are important reasons that this landfill should not be approved. Page numbers are in reference to the publicly accessible pdf of the PD 18-42 application. 1. Wetlands: the property contains 24 acres of jurisdictional wetlands (National Wetlands Inventory; also see enclosed wetlands map). These scenic and highly functioning wetlands in the Wolf River floodplain provide habitat and a natural buffer to the neighbors. Excavating 15 ft down (page 5, D.1.c.) on the site will fundamentally damage the wetland function. Wetland soils and the underlying silt and sand are not stable soils on which to build upon and are known to liquify in the earthquakes the Memphis area has. Wetlands are not suitable for C&D landfill sites and this landfill should not be approved. 2. Aquifer recharge: along the Wolf River, wetlands like these are known to recharge the Memphis Sand Aquifer.

Wetlands occur in depressed land areas called basins that are natural a result of land topography or are designed by man, created to house organisms while working as a greenway for improved human health conditions and pollution controls. Trees grow where the ground is wet part of the year and as the ground dries, new life enters and co-exist within a cycle of seasonal rainfall conditions. All wetlands are imperative for the filtration processes working to decrease toxins and chemical pollution found on both land and in water. Wetlands serve as a pollution interception, toxic residue processing and removal of waste. Wetlands are also used for recreational, aesthetics, and educational purposes and provide homes called habitats for many diverse species of organisms. The flora and fauna thrive and adapt within a wetland environment that consist by seasonal conditions produced by weather conditions of dryness and wetness and are associated with storm and rainwater runoff, drainage, pond, river, and pool overflows, man- induced water channeling, flooding and some processes associated with drainage waste collection and disposal.

    MEMPHIS, TN (May 13, 2016) – In response to overwhelming public support and interest regarding the Memphis Zoo and its economic impact on Memphis and the surrounding communities, the Memphis Zoological Society releases “The Economic Impacts of Memphis Zoo”. This recently completed study by the University of Memphis Sparks Bureau of Business and Economics Research/Center for Manpower Studies analyses the significant economic impact the Memphis Zoo contributes to the local economy by drawing thousands of visitors from other parts of the state, country, and around the world. The Memphis Zoo is dedicated to improving the public’s education and appreciation of animals, while also being a strong economic catalyst for the local economy. We are pleased to learn from the study that out-of-area visitors spent an estimated $62.1 million in the local economy during fiscal year 2014. We sincerely appreciate your continued support in helping us become the most visited attraction in Memphis and one of the top destinations for visitors across the entire Mid-South region. ! ! !
