Celebrate the work of caregivers and mothers alike by joining us on a botanical bike ride on Saturday, May 9th!

There will be many plants to smell, touch and possibly taste! On this program, participants will learn the basics of local botany and dive into stories that consider the cultural and ecological knowledge of the Middle Rio Grande Valley.

Participants should expect to bike up to 8 miles total, on mostly flat and paved, gravel and dirt trails. Mountain bikes are preferred but road bikes can also manage. We will begin at Tingley Beach and make stops along the way to the Rio Grande Nature Center. This program will run for four hours with breaks for rest, lunch and observations. Please bring water, snacks, a journal or sketchbook and something to write with. Herbal tea is always served so bring a thermos!

Your guide and facilitator is a certified naturalist and is trained in Wilderness First Aid, CPR and Mental Health Wilderness First Aid. Learn more about Blanca here.
