The Buffalo Bayou Partnership is looking for volunteers to help restore and beautify Houston’s signature waterway.

Buffalo Bayou is well on its way to becoming one of Houston’s primary attractions but we still have work to do. Our new hike and bike trails and growing green spaces need to be landscaped and cleaned up regularly.

Bayou beautification is an easy, fun and convenient way for corporate, school and civic groups to foster teamwork and give back to the community. Bayou beautification also provides enormous results after only a few hours work. Muddy t-shirts and tired muscles only last a day, but the results of your hard work for Houston's signature waterway and park system will last for years.
