SUMMARY:Pitch in at Hermann Park
DESCRIPTION:Give the Park you love a little extra care\, and help us get ready for the world! Join us for “Pitch in at Hermann Park\,” a hands-on volunteer series where community members of all ages come together to help care for Houston’s most cherished green spaces. \nWe’re proud to work alongside FWC26Houston and Harris County–Houston Sports Authority in the Impact Houston 26 efforts to elevate the local environmental action on a global stage and build a lasting\, positive legacy for our city. \nYou’ll work alongside Conservancy staff on simple but meaningful projects like mulching\, planting\, and litter cleanup — the kind of small efforts that make a big impact for visitors\, wildlife\, and the health of the Park. \nThis volunteer session will be in the Heart of the Park (6104 Hermann Park Drive\, Houston Texas 77030). Volunteers will meet at the Pedal Boat Kiosk. Enter through Lot G (near the Zoo) or Lot E and park in Lot F.  Walk up the concrete sidewalk to the Pedal Boat Kiosk\, and we will be watching for your group. \nNo experience is needed — just comfortable clothes\, closed-toe shoes\, and a willingness to help. We’ll provide the tools\, guidance\, and a great way to spend your morning outdoors while meeting new people and giving back to the community. \nWhether you come with friends\, family\, coworkers\, or on your own\, your time truly matters here. Help us welcome the world to Hermann Park! \nSIGN UP HERE. \nWeather:   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. \nQuestions? Email volunteer@hermannpark.org or call 713-524-5876. Remember\, we are often out in the field\, so email is the preferred method of getting in touch!
