Farmer's Market is Hiring
Join The Woodlands Farmer's Market team! We are a small, dedicated group of market enthusiasts and we think we are pretty fun to work with. We currently have an opening for a Market Manager position.
The Market Manager is primarily responsible for the day-to-day operation of the farmer’s market. This will include an on-site presence at the market during all market hours (every Saturday 6:30 a.m.-2:30 p.m.), as well as off-site work during non-market hours. The candidate will need their own transportation that can tow a trailer.
Please send an email to farmersmarket@gmva.org for more details if you are interested in the job. We would love to talk to you!

The Woodlands Township begins cul-de-sac maintenance
Cul-de-sac maintenance is underway by The Woodlands Township. Currently, The Woodlands Township maintains 1,352 small cul-de-sacs, 261 jumbo cul-de-sacs and 130 intracts.
Based on the approval by the Township Board of Directors in 2021, all cul-de-sacs and intracts will be maintained by in-house crews starting in the Spring of 2022.
The Township’s maintenance philosophy for cul-de-sacs is to allow the areas to be in harmony with nature, which over time should allow them to grow and mature into a forested area. Keeping that philosophy in mind, Township crews will maintain those areas to the following standards:
Mowing and trimming turf
Edging around curbs and pathways
Blowing
Removal of natural debris and trash
Pruning street growth up to 14 feet
Trimming growth around the mailboxes, light poles and other approved structures
Service does not provide:
Clearing of vegetation or brush
Removal of healthy non-hazardous trees
Maintenance of enhanced landscape plantings
Chemical weed control
Fertilization
Irrigation
Maintenance of hardscapes, decomposed granite, gravel, or other non-natural surfaces
Small cul-de-sacs will receive one (1) maintenance visit per year and jumbo cul-de-sacs/intracts receive eleven (11) maintenance visits per year. We encourage residents to contact the Township if they have questions or concerns about cul-de-sacs or intracts by calling 281-210-3900 or emailing mkillian@thewoodlandstownship-tx.gov.
