    Buffalo Bayou Partnership is the Houston non-profit organization revitalizing and transforming Buffalo Bayou, our city’s most significant natural resource.

    The Partnership coordinates the integration of major amenities into the bayou greenbelt and seeks ways to increase community involvement through pedestrian, boating and biking amenities, permanent and temporary art installations, and other natural and built attractions.

    Buffalo Bayou Partnership’s recent successes have included:

    · Opening of the Sabine Promenade, downtown’s 23-acre waterfront park. With dramatic blue and white lighting, hike and bike trails, lush landscaping and public art, the new park has been lauded as one of Houston’s best designed public spaces.

    · Initiating redevelopment of the historic International Coffee Building at Allen’s Landing – plans include a canoe, kayak, and bike rental facility. Construction to begin by fall of 2008

    · Implementing an Adopt-a-Spot program for tributary maintenance along Buffalo Bayou west of downtown

    · Developing an herbarium to house plants collected from the bayou’s corridor; a virtual herbarium, accessed from the Partnership’s website, is also being designed

    · Worked with more than 1,500 volunteers to beautify the bayou through tree plantings, wildflower seedings and tributary restoration

    · Building over four miles of hike and bike trails east of downtown as part of an effort to complete ten miles in the next few years

    · Acquiring more than 40 acres of land east of downtown to transform into open space for parks, sports facilities, nature preserves and other amenities

    · Collected over 3,500 cubic yards of trash from Buffalo Bayou with the Mighty Tidy Skimmer Boat

    · Continuing to host dozens of events, canoe trips, bat tours, history hikes, pontoon boat rides, and arts openings attracting hundreds of Houstonians to the bayou shores, including the annual Buffalo Bayou Regatta – 15-mile canoe and kayak race
