As a public-private partner to the City of Houston, HPC focuses on long-term planning, capital improvements, stewardship, and visitor services across the Park's 445 acres. Current activities include the operation of major Park assets such as the McGovern Centennial Gardens, Lott Hall, McWilliams Dog Park, and the Commons - a new destination for play and gathering. HPC oversees volunteer and conservation programs, forestry management, and earned income strategies that support long-term care. Continued on Schedule O. At the same time, HPC is executing a 10-year implementation plan to bring to life the Park's final components of the updated master plan - an ambitious, community-informed vision that meets the needs of today while building for future generations.Park Programs and Maintenance: Stewardship and Park Operations: Hermann Park Conservancy stewards the Park's natural landscapes, tree canopy, and high-use public spaces with a focus on long-term environmental health and exceptional daily care. With the openings of the Commons and McWilliams Dog Park, Conservancy-managed acreage has more than doubled. These destinations now join the McGovern Centennial Gardens as areas under full Conservancy management, contributing to a 30 percent increase in annual operational needs. Through the urban land management, forestry, and maintenance programs, the Conservancy oversees more than 13,000 trees, leads habitat restoration efforts across the Park, and cares for these spaces with the support of expert horticulture staff, a natural areas team, and a Park-wide maintenance program that supplements the City's work, including regular care in the Japanese Garden. HPC's robust volunteer program, established in 2003, further strengthens this stewardship and mission, contributing more than 30,000 hours of Park care each year. Community Engagement and Programming: Hermann Park Conservancy enriches the visitor experience through free or low-cost programming that welcomes Houstonians of all ages into the Park. Our community offerings span beloved annual traditions and new creative initiatives, including the internationally recognized "The Great Elephant Migration" installation, which brought 100 extraordinary, life-sized elephant sculptures into the landscape. Signature events such as the Park to Port Bike Ride and Run in the Park remain core touchpoints for thousands of residents each year, building connection and encouraging active enjoyment of the Park's greenspaces. With Art in the Park, the public art program established in 2014, the Conservancy continues to present rotating public art and cultural installations that invite curiosity, exploration, and repeat visitation. Other ongoing programming further animates the Park, including student performances, the Garden & Nature Series, and a growing array of workshops, family activities, and topic-based events. This type of community engagement is an evolving priority for the Conservancy, and we intend to deepen, expand, and diversify programming in the years ahead so that Hermann Park remains a place of learning, creativity, and joy for all who visit. 2396987 3991258 Visitor Services and Facility Rentals: The Conservancy's visitor services and facility rentals are earned income areas and provide popular amenities and offerings for Park visitors. The visitor services department operates the Hermann Park Railroad, pedal boats, Park cafes, Lott Family Carousel, and oversees the gift shop in Lake Plaza. We also receive revenue from the facility rentals program for spaces available in the McGovern Centennial Gardens and Lott Hall. When the Commons opened in 2024, income opportunities were part of the operational plans. These include rental of the site's three pavilions, an improved Hermann Park Railroad stop, and the addition of a carousel as a new park amenity. 2136711 619858 Planning, Design, and Construction: Hermann Park Conservancy, in partnership with the City of Houston and Michael Van Valkenburgh Associates, developed a new master plan in 2017 that reimagines the Park through the lenses of play, nature, access, and mobility - priorities identified through extensive community input. With transformational projects like the Commons and the McWilliams Dog Park now complete, HPC is launching a coordinated 10-year final projects plan. Continued on Schedule O. This plan includes restoration or renovation of the following areas: - North Lake restoration and habitat enhancement- Restoration of the Japanese Garden- Historic Golf Course improvements- Expansion of the Greenway Connection and the Loop Trail- Renovation of the Judson Robinson Jr. Community Center and surrounding recreation areas- Improvement and expansion of maintenance and operations facilities- Comprehensive connectivity enhancements and improvements in and around the Park- Fannin Parking Garage and Skybridge - Bayou Parkland restoration- A reimagined Park CenterTogether, these projects will dramatically improve the visitor experience, increase access and mobility, restore natural systems, and create new opportunities for programming and recreation. The Conservancy has quietly begun fundraising efforts for this vision plan and will continue to move toward a public launch of this campaign, which totals over $312 million at current estimate. 8714220 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 1 65 0 1 102 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 42 41 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 X Cara Lambright 7135245876 1700 Herman Drive Houston TX 77004 Roslyn Bazzelle Mitchell Chair 3.00 X X 0 0 0 John Bishop Vice Chair 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Brian Rollins Secretary 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Kevin Bonebrake Treasurer 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Kristy Bradshaw Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Divya Brown Board Member 0.50 X 0 0 0 Buddy Carruth Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Janet F Clark Board Member 0.50 X 0 0 0 Paula DesRoches Board Member 0.50 X 0 0 0 SE Cody Dick Board Member 0.50 X 0 0 0 Milane Duncan-Frantz Board Member 0.50 X 0 0 0 Mik Ebisu Board Member 0.50 X 0 0 0 Cece Fowler Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Akemi Fuji-Saitoh Board Member 0.50 X 0 0 0 Morgan Garvey Board Member 0.50 X 0 0 0 Endira Hawkins Board Member 0.50 X 0 0 0 Morgan U Hollins Board Member 0.50 X 0 0 0 Linda Hunsaker Board Member 0.50 X 0 0 0 George W Johnston Board Member 2.00 X 0 0 0 Demetra C Jones Board Member 0.50 X 0 0 0 Ann Kennedy Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Carey Kirkpatrick Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 William A Lumpkin Board Member 0.50 X 0 0 0 Rebecca Mark-Jusbasche Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Sharon McLaughlin Board Member 0.50 X 0 0 0 Laura C McWilliams Board Member 0.50 X 0 0 0 Joe Meppelink Board Member 2.00 X 0 0 0 Terrylin G Neale Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 H Joe Nelson III Board Member 0.50 X 0 0 0 Tina Arias Peterman Board Member 0.50 X 0 0 0 Cory Quarles Board Member 0.50 X 0 0 0 Kaitlyn Scheurich Board Member 0.50 X 0 0 0 Sebastien Solar Board Member 0.50 X 0 0 0 Josh Solera Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Craig Stone Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Sadami Sugimoto Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Y Ping Sun Board Member 0.50 X 0 0 0 Troy Thacker Board Member 0.50 X 0 0 0 Brian J Thomas Board Member 0.50 X 0 0 0 Nicola Fuentes Toubia Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Stephanie K Tsuru Board Member 0.50 X 0 0 0 Phoebe Tudor Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Sonny Villarreal Board Member 0.50 X 0 0 0 Cara Lambright President (as of 08/24) 40.00 X 138498 0 3541 Doreen Stoller President (thru 08/24) 40.00 X 175967 0 3714 Gary Pittman CFO 40.00 X 130436 0 5518 Kyle Wolfe COO 40.00 X 108531 0 13003 Fani Qano Project Manager 40.00 X 149997 0 12861 Michele Andrews Senior Dir. -
