Bayou Boat Clean Up

​ Volunteer spots are confirmed only after you register and sign the waiver with Buffalo Bayou Partnership. Spots are limited, we ask that you honor your commitment to attend, let us know if your plans change in advance, or find a replacement for yourself if you can't make it last minute.

​Volunteers will work from small work boats, the Bayou Vac, and on shore to clean shorelines and containment booms. Work is hands-on physical labor and requires entering and exiting work boats; potentially lifting heavy objects; using tools such as nets, pickers, and bags; and working with machinery on the Bayou Vac.

​Conditions can be hot and humid. Volunteers are encouraged to stay hydrated, take breaks, work within their physical limitations, and ask for help when needed. There are no bathrooms at the meeting location or on the work boats.
