Join Buffalo Bayou Partnership (BBP) as they highlight their plans, programs, and partners along Buffalo Bayou through its second installment of the webinar series Deeper Dive.
This series will overview the fifth anniversary of Buffalo Bayou Park and the planning that went into the park, discuss the clean-up process along the waterway, and what we are doing as an organization to be inclusive of the surrounding neighborhoods. To receive the link to the online event, please be sure to register here. Attendees will be sent the link 10 minutes prior to the start of the event.
The average neighborhood yard may look pretty, but doesn’t support the wide range of wildlife that is crucial to a healthy environment and community. The good news is that yards can be both beautiful and beneficial by incorporating the native plants that support our local wildlife! In this presentation, Ms. Lauren Simpson will share handy tips on how to create a wildlife garden at your own home, for the enjoyment of your family and the benefit of your community. Come join Hermann Park Conservancy to learn how to transform your own yard into a beautiful, pollinator paradise!
The event will be hosted on Zoom and also streamed via Facebook Live.

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.
