McAllen's Tiny Forests: Perspectives from an Ecologist

Learn about how the City of McAllen has brought the Tiny Forest method to the Rio Grande Valley! In just the past 4 years, more than 12,000 native plants have been planted at 7 Tiny Forests in the city. During this presentation, you'll learn from John Brush, Urban Ecologist, about the method, the benefits, and how Tiny Forests are one tool to create healthy urban ecosystems for people and wildlife. You'll see lots of progress photos on the amazing growth of the forests, along with wildlife observations in them.
This program is included with park admission ($3 adults, $2 seniors).
