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.
