Neighbors for Nature

Saturday, August 29, 2026

Each month, the Houston Zoo invites guests and community members to take part in hands-on saving-wildlife activities that help restore the outdoor places our community loves. Inspired by Umuganda, a monthly community service tradition in Rwanda, these events take place on the last Saturday of each month.
