One of our goals at Jones Park is to support native wildlife by returning the forest to its native state. Historically, this area was a mix of prairies and woodlands with a more open understory. This ecosystem is dependent on disturbance, which at one time would have been provided by bison grazing and fires caused by either lightning, indigenous people, or settlers. The exclusion of these disturbances has created unregulated growth of invasive plant species that choke out native trees and grasses.

By manually removing the overgrown and non-native plants, we can recreate the effect of natural disturbances like grazing and fire. This allows for regeneration of the historical understory and mid-story vegetation, which can then be supported by planting of additional native trees. Increasing native plant diversity leads to an increase in the diversity of insect species, which then results in an increase in the diversity of birds and small mammals, too.

Join the Jesse Jones Park Eradicators to remove invasive plant species and restore native habitats of Jones Park. Invasives Beware! meets in the Nature Center at 9 a.m. on the third Saturday of every month.

Each year, more than 1,000 people contribute to the cultural vibrancy of this great city by donating their time to the MFAH. Men and women of different backgrounds, from high school students to retirees, help the Museum to meet its goal of bringing art into the lives of people throughout Houston’s communities. At the MFAH, volunteer opportunities encompass a broad range of abilities and interests. Options include leading tours of the Museum galleries, helping in the gift shop, assisting with clerical duties, greeting guests, and facilitating children’s art projects.

To become an MFAH volunteer, first complete and submit an online application. Next, you will be invited to attend an orientation session. This important step is required for all prospective volunteers so that you can learn about the available opportunities, tour volunteer areas of the Museum, and meet the Volunteer Services Department staff. 

Volunteers can fundraise through an event called a Salaam Supper. This can take the form of different ideas from a potluck in a home, an educational cooking class with a former refugee, or a pre-set menu tied to a specific donation ask. Salaam Suppers are a great way of getting community members together to learn more about refugees. You can see more information on Salaam Suppers here: Information for the Salaam Supper.

Volunteers will arrange a donation drive for items such as hygiene items, school supplies, small household items, or baby items. The goal of the drive is to create Welcome Kits for refugee families. We will provide you with a Welcome Kit List and Guide. We suggest gathering kits from one of the two options below.

1) Separate each category on the Welcome Kit List into separate containers of your choice. Ideas for containers include, but are not limited to: plastic bins, reusable grocery bags, or boxes.

2) Include all of the items on the Welcome Kit List into one container of your choice. Ideas for containers include, but are not limited to: plastic bins, reusable grocery bags, or boxes.

The average family size consists of five people, two adults and three children. We leave the option open for groups to decide which of the two are more convenient for your group in gathering the supplies.
