Calendar
On the Second Tuesday of each month at the noon hour (12 PM Central Standard Time), the TMN State Office will offer an hour-long virtual advanced training event (sometimes including some fantastic new and returning guest speakers).
One of the great things about TMN Tuesdays is the fact that they count for AT, even if you view them after the fact. So, if you didn’t get to see them the first time around, there’s still time to view them and have them count for AT!
Please join the Houston Parks and Recreation Department for volunteer workdays at Robert C Stuart Park! HPARD has partnered with SCA and TCEQ to restore riparian and prairie habitat at this nature park. Activities include planting native species, removing invasives, and trash pick-up. Registration is required! Please email NaturalResources@houstontx.gov to register.

3rd Thursdays, 8:30-11am
7250 Bellfort Ave, Houston, TX, 77087
Registration begins at 8:30 a.m. and the cleanup is from 9 till noon.
Volunteers are asked to wear closed-toe shoes and bring plenty of drinking water. Adopt-A-Beach is also asking that you bring along your own set of gloves as Adopt-A-Beach donated most of our inventory at the onset of COVID-19. Disposable, work, or garden gloves work great! Adopt-A-Beach will provide all necessary materials.
Reservations are required due to COVID-19. Please sign up today, one ticket per person, no group sign-ups available this year. Registration will remain open until the end of the cleanup on April 17th.
Trail maintenance, volunteer work crew, and garden group.

It’s time to volunteer again! You know you want to, but you know there are rules, right? So here they are:
- Only a certain number of people will be allowed in each garden area. Be prepared to grow where you’re planted (work where you’re most needed)!
- You must supply your own gloves and tools.
- Park at the education building, not in front of the office.
- If you are more comfortable wearing a face mask, you are more than welcome to.
- Limits on the number of people should allow for 6 feet social distancing. Be mindful of the distance.
- As always, bring adequate sun protection and water.
- If you have been exposed to COVID-19, please quarantine for 14 days before joining Texas Master Naturalists – Heartwood Chapter at the Forest.
Volunteer slots begin at 9 am and end at noon. Contact heartwoodvsp@gmail.com for the latest plans.

In 1996, a cross-section of stakeholders came together in Pittsburgh for the very first federally co-sponsored National Brownfields Training Conference. Now join National Brownfields Conference as we celebrate the 19th event from September 27th–30th, 2021, in Oklahoma City, OK at the Oklahoma City Convention Center!
Cosponsored by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the International City/County Management Association (ICMA), the National Brownfields Training Conference is the largest gathering of stakeholders focused on cleaning up and reusing formerly utilized commercial and industrial properties. Mark your calendars for three days of training, networking, and business development!
