September 10, 2019 Update
Hello Arroyo Partners,
We have been receiving some very much needed rain. You can almost set your clock to it; opening day of white-wing season in the Valley, and it rains! At least we got the first day of hunting in before the rains started. The weather prognosticators are predicting a wet fall and winter for the RGV. I hope that they are right.
I wanted to let everyone know about 3 upcoming events where we need volunteers!
Please mark your calendars for the upcoming events:
Rio Reforestation 28!
