Buffalo Bayou Partnership is looking for heat-tolerant, enthusiastic volunteers (ages 16 +) who are available to "play in the mud" at the newly created wetlands at Buffalo Bend Nature Park along the bayou's east sector.

9:30-11:30: Planting of wetland plants in designated areas.

noon: Round-up tools, supplies.

What you need to bring:

Water, sunscreen, sunglasses, a hat, clothes that breathe and rubber boots that can get muddy (waders if you have them).

Questions:

If you can attend or if you have questions, please contact Jessalyn Ballard, our volunteer and outreach coordinator, at jballard@buffalobayou.org or 713.752.0314 ext. 4.

I'm putting on my rubber boots and heading down there tomorrow.

Sounds like fun BUT that water is literally crappy.

Every station along the Bayou with ecoli measurement are usually above the EPA 394 standard for contact recreation. In other words, Should you really be touching that water?

Simple solution: DON'T DRINK THE WATER!

Just touching the water isn't a big deal unless you have open wounds and hepatitus. Just don't drink it...
