“Wetland Shrubs” by Christina Mild

Wetland edges are some of the most important habitat for animal species. Undisturbed wetland edges have some of the greatest plant diversity to be found. Unfortunately, most wetland edges in the LRGV have been repeatedly disturbed by man. This PowerPoint-illustrated talk will present some of the woody shrubs suitable for revegetating disturbed or created wetland edges in the LRGV. Presenter Christina Mild has lived along the Arroyo Colorado in Harlingen for over 20 years. She has been engaged in exploration and revegetation along the Arroyo at Ramsey Nature Park for over a decade. Mild is an honorary member of RGV Texas Master Naturalists. She holds an M.S. in Biological Sciences and has taught various science-related subjects to all ages.
