Valley Land Fund photography Exhibit

Wednesday, October 6, 2021

MHC is excited to announce the upcoming exhibit of the Valley Land Fund's nature and wildlife photographs. The display will run October 6, 2021 through January 2022! We invite everyone to stop by and enjoy the breathtaking photos featured in the exhibit. A selection of the beautiful photography books produced by VLF are available for purchase at the museum store "La Tiendita" (online and in-house). Preserve, expand, and enhance. The heart of The Valley Land Fund conservation efforts has been protecting the native wildlife habitat in the Rio Grande Valley for the last 30 years. In that time, we have achieved enormous success and have protected over 11,000+ acres of wildlife habitat. We are committed to educating the public about the importance of land conservation and protection of our natural resources.
