Below is information regarding the Houston Bayou Greenways Project. There may be some ways to connect this project to public history, or just be able to get involved with this project. Thought some of you might be interested.
Houston Parks Board and UH
Houston Parks Board is a nonprofit organization dedicated to creating, improving, protecting and advocating for parkland in the greater Houston area. This spring we're working to connect and expand the bayou park trails throughout the city. A big part of the Houston Bayou Greenways project is building a bridge from UH to Brays Bayou that runs through the south side of campus, as well as increasing the green space and parkland along that bayou.

This spring we'll be working with UH students both on and off campus in an exciting campaign to promote the Bayou Greenways and ensure that City Council stays committed to implementing the project. We have a variety of internship and volunteer opportunities available!
