Helen Hope is a Program Associate at the Memphis River Parks Partnership. She began as an Urban Forestry Fellow with Rhodes College and Overton Park Conservancy. She continued her work with the National Park Service, learning about the Partnership Wild and Scenic Rivers designation model in New England to be packaged and shared with other communities. The opportunity to work in the parks next to the Mississippi River and cultivate meaningful experiences on the riverfront brought her back to Memphis.
