Conservation Volunteers for Hermann Park

Save to Favorites

Volunteers are needed in a variety of ways to increase the Park's visibility, accessibility, and usage, as well to teach the public the importance of conserving green space. Outdoor opportunities include gardening, weeding, picking up litter, removing algae from McGovern Lake, watering trees, and cleaning the Jones Reflection Pool. Areas include the Japanese Garden, Lake Plaza, Kinder Station, Centennial Gardens and other designated areas.

Individual adult volunteers only, are welcome to assist staff at our Centennial Gardens. All adult volunteers should sign up for an Orientation before volunteering.

Adults, Family or Teen volunteers are welcome to help out at Bayou Parkland or the Japanese Garden.
