About us
Our Mission: The Greens Bayou Coalition promotes resilience, economic development and quality of life in the Greens Bayou watershed. We do this by: --Advocating for flood resiliency/damage and reduction --Adding and improving parks and trails in communities within the watershed --Organizing cleanups and tree plantings along the bayou and in detention basins --Acquiring grants and funds to support new projects and programs within the watershed --Communicating with businesses, communities and governmental agencies and officials about issues within the watershed A 501(c)3 organization, Greens Bayou Coalition is funded by the donations of individuals and corporations, as well as grants. About the Bayou The Greens Bayou watershed meanders approximately 45 miles throughout Houston, Jersey Village, Jacinto City, Galena Park, Humble and Harris County. The watershed covers about 212 square miles and includes four primary streams: Greens Bayou, Halls Bayou, Garners Bayou and Reinhardt Bayou. There are some 308 miles of open streams, including primary streams and tributary channels. From its narrow, ditch-like headway in the US 290 area to its deep, tree-lined delta at the Port of Houston, Greens Bayou is as varied as the neighborhoods it traverses.

WHAT'S NEW ON THE BAYOU? Join us this Friday on Arbor Day to plant trees at Buckboard Park! We're fighting a very real "Heat Island" effect just inside the beltway at a well-loved, well-used park to replace trees that died last summer. We planted 25 trees in October and will plant 20 more on Friday! Meet us at 8:30 am and let's get this done!

Know someone looking for a meaningful internship working at the intersection of flood resilience, community engagement, equity, data analysis, and urban planning? Must be curious, diligent, willing to work in a beaurocracy, and excited to work with an awesome team of professionals with knowledge, experience, and compassion). Experience with flooding is not a plus, exactly (because it sucks), but would provide valuable insight into the job. This great opportunity for an internship at Harris County Flood Control District was just posted a few days ago and we are already getting good applicants, so send potential interns to the Harris County jobs page to apply sooner rather than later.
