Opportunities

  • Conservation Volunteers

    Put your green thumb to good use in our diverse ecosystems! Work alongside our native plant horticulturists and conservation team to help maintain the park gardens, prairies, and grounds. Gain some insider tips on gardening in Houston’s natural climate. Tasks include (but not limited to) pruning, seed collecting, planting, trash pickup and invasive species removal. Tasks are determined by workload and seasonal demands. All tools and training are provided.

    Sign up for a shift on our Calendar of Volunteer Opportunities.

  • Greenhouse Growers

    Did you know Memorial Park grows most of our native plants on site? Greenhouse Growers will assist MPC’s Nursery Conservation team with projects in our native plant greenhouse and our tree nursery! Project activities can range from (but are not limited to) transplanting growing plants, invasive weed removal, starting plants from seed, cleaning seeds, soil recycling, and more. All tools and training are provided.
