BORDER WALL UPDATE
Yesterday, the dreaded letter from the federal government requesting Right of Entry to the National Butterfly Center was received at the headquarters of the North American Butterfly Association, indicating the Department of Homeland Security’s intention to begin work on the Border Wall in earnest. As we continue to meet with other landowners, legislators and our lawyers, we ask that those who oppose the taking of private property and destruction of the Lower Rio Grande Wildlife Conservation Corridor continue to contact their elected representatives. As you may know, Santa Ana National Wildlife Refuge was exempted from construction of the wall, so there may be hope for us!
Everyone’s favorite environmental education camp featuring close encounters with native wildlife returns this summer with three weeks of hands-on instruction concerning insects, reptiles, mammals and birds of the Lower Rio Grande Valley! Register for Session I, II or III—or all of them—to reserve your spot today. Children ages 7 – 12 are welcome and space is limited. Click here to learn more or sign up, today.
