Trash Bash 2018 at Little White Oak Bayou

Please join SPE-GCS Young Professionals in their support of environmental stewardship at the White Oak Bayou. Every March, thousands of people in the Houston/Galveston area gather to clean tons of trash from our waterways. The mission of Trash Bash is to promote environmental stewardship of our watershed through public education by utilizing hands-on educational tools and by developing partnerships between environmental, governmental, and private organizations. Volunteers will help clean the waterways by picking up trash
