This is a volunteer event for Buffalo Bayou Partnership members and their families. Anyone is welcome to join us, though! Please complete your registration (profile, waiver, and registering) prior to 7:00 am on Saturday.

We will be removing several varieties of invasive plants from some of our native wildflower areas. One variety of invasive will be going to seed soon. Another is in most cases still small and can be removed entirely by hand. These plants if left to go to seed can easily create a monoculture crowding out the wildflowers. Our volunteers last year were able to clear the invasives from most of the wildflower areas creating the incredible showing of color this year.

We will meet at the bench over the waterfall at the parking lot exit of Lost Lake, 3422 Allen Pkwy. We will walk from there to the wildflower areas on the north side of the bayou.

Parking is available at Lost Lake, but also across the Jackson Hill pedestrian bridge north of the park
