Volunteering is a great way to connect with others, learn about gardening, and make a visible impact in Hermann Park. To schedule a group volunteer experience, all groups must reach out in advance to volunteer@hermannpark.org coordinate availability and project details.
We want you to make a difference and have an enjoyable experience volunteering with Hermann Park Conservancy. Below are guidelines to make your time with us productive and comfortable.
What to Wear:
All Conservancy volunteers must wear closed-toe shoes and long pants.
Dress appropriately for the weather. Utilize layering and clothing made of wicking materials and/or sun protection. It's Houston, so don't forget the rain gear for those unexpected rain showers!
Make sure your clothing can get dirty, wet, or muddy.
OPTIONAL - Wide-Brimmed hat
Please do not wear sandals, flip-flops, shorts, halter-tops, or clothing with references to alcohol, drugs, or sex.
What to Bring:
Individual refillable water bottle
Snacks
Completed Conservancy waiver/photo release (if not already on file)
Sunscreen
Insect Repellant
Gloves will be provided if necessary for the project, but you are welcome to bring your favorite pair from home.
Weather
Volunteer projects are rain or shine, unless there is severe weather.
Cancellations due to severe weather will be sent via text/email at least 1 hour before your shift.
Use your best judgment when traveling in inclement weather.
