Give back to the Community & Environment
Sure, you can do this without HTXoutdoors, but it's more fun when you do it with a group! Help plant trees around Houston, clean the trails and bayou, and learn about conservation of the Galveston Bay! We help you stay connected with the community and participate in events to help preserve the environment.
