Missouri City Green and Volunteers Plant 40 Native Trees in Buffalo Run Park to Restore Native Habitat and Create a Sustainable Community

On February 25th, 55 dedicated volunteers from Missouri City Green gathered to plant 40 trees in Buffalo Run Park near the main pavilion. These 15-gallon trees are over two years old and the key to restoring the native habitat of the park and eradicating invasive species. The tree planting is just one of the many initiatives being undertaken to create a more sustainable and eco-friendly community.

The trees planted in Buffalo Run Park include Nutall Oak, Bur Oak, Mexican Sycamore, and Loblolly Pine, all native species that thrive in the Texas climate. These trees will not only provide habitat for local wildlife but also help to reduce air pollution, increase oxygen levels and provide shade for park visitors. 

Nine volunteers from Lowes came out to support us and picked up seven bags of trash around the park.

​Missouri City Green and Missouri City Parks and Recreation partnered to host this event with sponsorship by a KTB/HEB Green Bag Grant and CenterPoint Energy.

Fort Bend Youth In Philanthropy Joins Missouri City Green
​for a Day of Environmental Action 


​A  group of 14 passionate Fort Bend Youth In Philanthropy (YIP) students teamed up with Missouri City Green and City Forester Paul Wierzbicki to engage in a day of philanthropy on February 11. The student volunteers kicked off their morning by spreading mulch around the trees at Hunters Glen Park. Following this, the volunteers took a break to enjoy a lunch while the board members of Missouri City Green shared their organization's mission.

After lunch, the students continued their philanthropic efforts by adhering 35 storm drain markers to storm drain inlets in the Parkway Trails neighborhood. These markers served as a reminder to residents and yard crews that only rainwater should go down the drain. The day concluded with the volunteers creating 90 wildflower seed balls to distribute at the upcoming Edible Earth Fest.

Recycle Right in 2023 Presentation - January 9th


Missouri City Green hosted GFL recycling expert Angelica Weaver who provided residents pointers on how to recycle right in the new year.

Key recycling tips:
  • We can now recycle glass
  • No styrofoam
  • No plastic bags
  • No food waste (wash out all recycling containers)
  • When in doubt, leave it out!
She discussed GFL's New Cart Refresh Program which begins on January 16, 2023.  GFL will be swapping out existing residential trash and recycling containers for new ones. Residents should place containers out on their normal service day. Cart delivery services will follow the trash and recycling trucks, picking up the empty containers and replacing them with a new trash bin (black with green top) and a new recycling bin (green with black top).

The replacement program will last for approximately 6 weeks. Recycle Carts (2nd Phase) will be delivered after all trash carts have been completed.

PLEASE PLACE YOUR CART OUT ( FULL OR NOT) ON YOUR DESIGNATED COLLECTION DAY.
