February Work Day Delivers LUV!

What a day of LUV for Woodland Park! Over 50 volunteers from all over Houston showed up on a rainy day to WORK! Together, they pulled out over 2500 pounds of trash, built a new trail spur connecting Woodland Park and Freed Park, and weeded the Butterfly Garden and Firefly Field. That’s A LOT OF LUV!!!!

Special shout out to Brownie Troop 122245 who brought 10 volunteers to the bayou! Also thanks to students and scouts from BSA Troop 55 and Troop 30, The Regis School, St Agnes High School, St John’s School, St Thomas High School, Duchesne Academy, KIPP, and the University of St Thomas!

Sign up now for our March Work Day: TRASH BASH! Yes, it looks like Moody Park on the website, but Woodland Park is a Satellite location of the Moody Park site this year! We will still have all the fun, food, and music that you expect from TRASH BASH! We are grateful to our sister organization, Friends of Moody Park, for organizing “Trash Bash 2025 - "Clean It Like You Mean It" with H-GAC!
