For six Saturdays from January 31 to March 7, 9 a.m to 1 p.m., the Nature
Center will offer prospective volunteers the opportunity to delve into
nature and the green future in their own backyard.

Focusing on the ecology of the Rio Grande Valley, educators will review the
history of our great river and consider the impact of human activities as
well as restoration measures currently underway.  Trainees will examine the
birds, mammals, reptiles, amphibians, invertebrates, and plants that make up
the bosque's web of life.  They'll also discover many ways to support the
Nature Center - from volunteering as an interpreter, an outreach educator,
or Nature Shop salesperson to working as a receptionist, gardener, and/or
producer of special events.

For more information, contact Karen Herzenberg at (505) 344-7240.
