San Marcos Greenbelt Alliance
Volunteer Opportunities

The mission of SMGA is to create and conserve an interconnected system of parks and natural areas for our community and future generations. What does that mean?

It means working with developers, the city, and the county to find compromises. It means helping the public understand the potential damage to the San Marcos River of building on sensitive land. It means qualifying for grants to create accessible trails, signage, and educational opportunities. And it means on-going programs that help preserve our psychological and physical health by getting us out into the natural world.

We can't do it alone. We need support from people who understand the importance of natural areas and are willing to volunteer time and donate money. SMGA is a non-profit, 501(c)(3), all volunteer organization that survives on the membership dues, donations, grants, perspiration, brains and brawn of people who understand the value of the natural world. So, find a volunteer opportunity or let us know of a project that you're interested in, and let's get to work!

Attend Meetings in Support of Greenspace Issues

Description: We frequently need supporters to attend parks meetings throughout the region, even if just to fill seats and keep eyes and ears open to what's going on. Meetings include Planning and Zoning, Parks and Recreation Advisory Board, the Hays County Parks and Open Space Advisory Board, and others. Many meeting times and locations are listed under SMGA Events in The Loop.
Desired skills: SMGA will provide background material and training on an on-going basis.
For questions or to volunteer, contact: SMGA by emailing alliance@smgreenbelt.org, or by calling 512-754-9321.
