Located in Southeast Houston, Exploration Green ("the Green") provides an integrated, natural solution for catastrophic seasonal flooding while also serving as a nature preserve and recreation area.
Home to more than 1,000 native species, this 200-acre urban green space includes 40 acres of wetlands and permanent storm water management lakes for exploration.
Conserve. Restore. Explore.
What We Do
Exploration Green Conservancy ("the Conservancy") is committed to helping youth and adults see and learn from nature in the Clear Lake area. Members of our community have provided input, ideas, and support for the development of the project. Their ongoing feedback and participation are vital to develop programs for the Green and to maintain the sprawling project. Going forward the Conservancy will continue to engage volunteers to help with projects, grant writing and fundraising, conservation and recreation, and amenities.
Sustainability
The Conservancy's primary goals are to conserve, restore, and protect the natural space entrusted to us. Since the Green's inception, we've made sustainability a top priority by incorporating it into the Green's design and management. As new and diverse programs are implemented at the Green, sustainability will continue to be a key consideration.
Learn With Us
We provide both structured and self-paced opportunities to explore and learn about nature. We believe our guests and visitors can find programs that appeal to their interests.
Events
The Conservancy is continually hosting various activities and events for the community. Bird hikes, planting opportunities, Scout Days and Moth Nights are among the fun and educational opportunities offered for children, teens and adults.
Get Involved
One of our greatest resources at the Green is our volunteers. Volunteering time and energy is a great way to create a sense of community and purpose in life. Volunteers at the Green help improve our habitat and recreation areas in the spirit of stewardship. We believe that everyone can find a way to have fun while helping the Conservancy deliver on its mission.
About Us
The Conservancy - through the combined efforts of its leadership, membership, volunteers, and partners - works to achieve its mission for the Green. Numerous engineering reports and environmental studies informed the planning and implementation of the project, laying the groundwork for its tremendous success. News stories, recognition, and awards attest to this success.
Donate
Creating the Green’s 200-acre park and conservation area has been a major undertaking. Unlike city or county-owned parks, the Conservancy must raise all the funds for the amenities and services offered - native trees and grass, hike and bike trails, educational programs, and other infrastructure like park benches and signage.
Would you like to help? We are always looking for people and organizations to provide financial support for the Green!
