Wildlife Photography Exhibition
Friday, May 27 – Saturday, Aug. 7
Free with general admission
The Valley Land Fund (VLF) assists with conservation of native habitat through the protection of land in the Lower Rio Grande Valley of South Texas. VLF celebrates wildlife photography and its importance to conservation by holding a photo contest every other year. The most stunning photos from the 2004 contest will be on display at the Houston Museum of Natural Science.
Dr. Dan Brooks, exhibition curator, notes, “The Rio Grande Valley of Texas is an extremely special ecoregion. The northern terminus of tropical America lies south of the Grande River, which divides Texas from Mexico. Consequently, the Rio Grande Valley is extremely rich in Neotropical fauna and flora.” Experience the exquisite beauty of the unique wildlife of South Texas.
