Native Plant Project meeting October 22
- Details
Native Plant Project's guest speaker for the October 22 meeting in Weslaco will be Ernesto Herrera, a wildlife biologist born and raised in the Rio Grande Valley. Herrera received his MS in Biology at UTRGV where he researched pollinator syndromes and distribution. He spends his free time collecting native plants and seeds and caring for his many pets.
In summarizing his program, Herrera asks, "Have you ever looked closely at our local wildflowers and noticed a plethora of tiny bees that look nothing like the well-known European honeybee? They're likely native bees! This program will cover what those bees are named, their habitats, and how you can help them to thrive."
