Houstonians, ages 9 and up, are invited to join Buffalo Bayou Partnership for community-wide volunteer days at Buffalo Bayou Park happening the third Saturday of each month. Whether volunteering as an individual or a small group, your efforts will lead to a healthier environment and a more aesthetically pleasing amenity for all to enjoy.
Buffalo Bayou Partnership is best known for award-winning parks, but the organization’s work extends beyond green spaces and trails. Join us for Transforming Urban Spaces, a bus tour of our unique historic and industrial sites throughout the 10-mile stretch from Shepherd Drive to the Port of Houston Turning Basin.
