Have you heard of the Valley’s native bats and their unique connection to one of our most iconic native trees: The Sabal Palm? 🦇🌴🦇Join Josue Ayala, to learn how bats contribute immensely to the health of the region’s habitats and practical ways for families and gardeners to make their own spaces more bat-friendly.🌼✨ Ayala’s love for nature was sparked by the landscapes of the RGV and deepened through his participation in the Texas Master Naturalist program. Though his career began in social work, he now blends his passion for community and conservation as the Vice President of the Native Plant Project and an Environmental Education Specialist at Quinta Mazatlán, where he helps people of all ages connect with the wild spaces around them. #southtexasecology #thursdaynightlive #quintamazatlan #mcallenevents

Forest Bathing or Shinrin –Yoku is a practice that originated in Japan in the early 1980s. The practice was developed in response to the effects of the technological boom on people’s quality of life, aiming to reduce burnout, stress and reconnect people with nature. Engaging with our environment through multiple senses not only expands our ability to be present, but nurtures our relationship to the land and to each other.🍃✨ Explore Forest Bathing with a Relational Forest Therapy Guide, Thursday August 21st, 6:00pm to 7:00pm. #mcallenevents #shinrinyoku #healthandwellness #quintamazatlan #relationalforesttherapy
