· Texas Border Business
American Forests will host the 32nd annual Rio Reforestation event on October 17, 2026, in Pharr, Texas. The event aims to engage over 1,000 volunteers to plant 10,000 native tree seedlings at the Lower Rio Grande Valley National Wildlife Refuge. This initiative is crucial as only 10% of the region's biodiverse thornforests remain, which support numerous native wildlife and over 400 migratory bird species. The event is organized in collaboration with various partners, including the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and local organizations. It will take place from 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM at Milagro Tract, 904 W Doffin Rd.
