INDIVIDUAL Volunteer Opportunities- Heart of the Park

Description

Join us every Friday and Saturday for rewarding, hands-on projects in the beautiful Heart of the Park. Located in the heart of Houston, the 445-acre Hermann Park has been an important resource for citizens of Houston for generations and is celebrated as a place that has always welcomed diversity and fostered a strong sense of community among its visitors.

Help us maintain this amazing space! We look forward to seeing you in the Park! Depending on the season, tasks may include planting, weeding, mulching, or pruning. No experience is needed—just bring your enthusiasm and love for the outdoors! Volunteering is a great way to meet new people, learn about gardening, and make a visible impact in the park.

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.

Where to meet?
