The Buffalo Bayou Partnership is looking for volunteers to help 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. VOLUNTEER SATURDAYS: Work and play on the same day! On Saturdays, join individual and group members of Buffalo Bayou Partnership's Green Team as we beautify the parks and trails of Buffalo Bayou. Now is your chance to help lend a hand. Join us for our next Green Team Event!
