Help clean up our very own Little White Oak Bayou, presented by Near Northside Management. Little White Oak Bayou is part of Woodland Park, https://www.friendsofwoodlandpark.org/.
After the cleanup, we hope to see you at the Home Tour, Saturday or Sunday, 12-5:30pm.
The tour requires a lot of willing hands to make it a success. Special thanks to all the committee chairs who have been laboring long – even longer than normal this tour, with all the virus-related delays.
You’ll be provided with a script and instructions. You will be guiding visitors through the home while sharing bullet points on history and décor. It’s a great way to support the neighborhood and meet interesting folks.

Woodland Heights is known for its beautiful Oak trees. To keep it that way we need to get more trees planted than are being removed.
Curbside trees must be planted in the right of way between the sidewalk and the road.
$100 purchase Includes:
One 15 gallon tree
Materials for planting (soil, mulch, stakes, tree guard)
Naturally replenishing moisture donut/ring
City of Houston will remove invasive trees at no cost to the homeowner. WHCA will provide a native tree when one becomes available through donation. Select Invasive Tree Replacement at checkout and we will contact you.
Review the HPARD Invasive Plants list to see if you have any on your curbside.
26 new trees ranging from live oaks, red buds, red maples, shumard oaks, loblolly pine to pecans were purchased from Trees for Houston. Some were placed on homeowners' property while some were donated. Donated trees were planted curbside on blocks which lacked shade plus some were donated to St. Mark's Methodist Church for planting along Redan.
Big shout out of gratitude and thanks to:
Emily Guyre who recruited four St. Thomas High School students: Jackson Guyre, Philip Gallagher, Landon Croker, and Pablo Ramirez. Ben McClure and Eric Nelson rounded out the team. This crew was incredibly hard working and fun despite the rain.
Thank you to those that donated trees on behalf of neighbors and to Nuro, whose donations sponsored trees along Redan at St. Mark's.
Last but certainly not least, we want to shout out a huge thank you to Ms. Saldana, principal of Hogg MS, for graciously allowing us to use their parking lot for drop off and staging of the trees, mulch and stakes! We appreciate it!
