There's a magic to summer evenings, from flower silhouettes at sunset to the wildlife that comes out after dusk. Read our latest in rgvisionmagazine to learn more about Quinta Mazatlan programs and other ways to enjoy the evenings outdoors in the Rio Grande Valley. rgvisionmagazine.com/the-magic-of-summer/

Join us next Saturday, July 12th, at the mcallenlibrary to help their Tiny Forest grow through weeding, litter pick-up, and documenting the plants and animals of the new forest. All volunteers must register (bit.ly/QMvolunteering). Hope to see you there!

Wondering how to get your kids outside this summer? Try exploring nature through photography! Whether with a camera or on your phone there is a whole season worth exploring. 🌱📷 Photo submissions for Southern Exposures' Youth Nature Photo Contest are now open through July 31st!
