Madres del Parque is always looking for different ways to connect our community with nature, bringing awareness to the importance of the care and preservation of our green spaces and wildlife. Since we’ve partnered with Houston Audubon, our events are more exciting and educational. Parents and children have enjoyed the different activities provided by Houston Audubon, but most importantly, they are more conscious about the beautiful and incredible wildlife around them. Seeing children’s faces in awe and excitement as they discover different bird species, learning what they eat, their colors and sizes, is like showing them an unknown world, more real, vivid, and colorful.
We have collaborated with Houston Audubon on several events: Latinos Connecting with Nature, Christmas Bird Count, Nature Journaling, and our most recent event was held on April 13th, where The Nature Conservancy, Greener Gulfton Plan, Precinct 4, and Madres del Parque participated in a native planting initiative at Burnett Bayland Park. Thanks to our partnership with the Houston Audubon, the Gulfton community has developed a closer connection to nature!
