Come join HPARD and the Student Conservation Association in restoring riparian habitat along our city's bayous! We will be planting 1500 native trees in our habitat restoration area at Townwood Park along Sims Bayou. Be sure to bring a refillable water bottle, along with shoes, gloves, and clothes that can get muddy. Pre-registration is required. Register by emailing NaturalResources@houstontx.gov to let us know you are planning to help. We would love to see you there!
