RIO REFORESTATION
Come help out the endangered ocelot! Rio Reforestation is an event held every year by the Lower Rio Grande Valley National Wildlife Refuges. At the event you can replant the area back to its native thornscrub forest, the favored habitat of the elusive and highly endangered ocelot. All you have to do is show up wearing work clothes, including gardening gloves and we'll provide the rest. Lunch and refreshments will be provided, too!
