MCALLEN: Quinta Mazatlan, an urban sanctuary, will be adding a Prehistoric Trail to the grounds as McAllen South Rotary and District generously sponsored the educational project.
“The creation of the Prehistoric Trail will be a permanent outdoor exhibit at Quinta Mazatlan depicting the origins of our modern day birds,” said John Gerling, Quinta Mazatlan board president and rotary member. “We are very thankful for the donation from rotary to integrate history and science into the tours and programs at the nature center.” Quinta Mazatlan offers science curriculum driven programs and works to educate and inspire over 15,000 children annually.
The development of the trail will feature a bronze sculpture and fossil plaque of an Archaeopteryx (ancestor of modern birds), petrified wood garden and primitive plant landscaping. The Prehistoric Trail will benefit our community as well as tourists to the Rio Grande Valley.
