This time on Tiny Forest Perspectives, we're taking a look at some observations of #TxPollinators made during the Texas Pollinator Bioblitz. One of the main takeaways was that purposefully seeded wildflowers, along with plants that popped up on their own in the forests, were among the most active with pollinators. This is in line with many studies that show that weedy plants - or "spontaneous flora" - create valuable habitat for pollinators in urban and rural environments. Want to learn more about McAllen's Tiny Forests? Join our Urban Ecologist, John Brush, for his presentation this Thursday (Oct. 29) here at Quinta Mazatlan. Brush will provide insights into the Tiny Forest method, share many photos of the results, and show how Tiny Forests are one way we can work towards creating healthier urban environments for people and wildlife. Program runs from 6 PM - 7 PM and is included with park admission fees ($3 adults, $2 seniors & children).
