Thank you, VR Green Club volunteers, for making the Valley Ranch Association EarthFest event such a success! Together, we educated over 300 residents on the importance of having and in a pollinator garden, and we gave 250 host plants and 16 butterfly garden plant kits. We shared knowledge on native Texas birds, and why snakes are important to our ecosystem - including a live snake demonstration! We taught residents what to plant in the deep shade of large trees, how not to over-prune trees, and how to be DarkSky Texas in their homes to help migrating birds. Learned a lot and had a great time!
