Event Info

Join us for a fascinating talk on how drones are being used for conservation efforts in forestry, environmental sciences, and agroecology. Drones’ ability to get into hard-to-reach areas and capture high-resolution data is helping with analysis, monitoring, and decision-making about our native habitats, wildlife, and more right here in the Rio Grande Valley. The Valley’s bird life is interlinked with our ability to protect and restore native habitats.
