Upcoming Events

Children ages 3-6 and an adult are invited to explore nature with a refuge Ranger.

Join us for free food, arts and crafts, ranger-led activities and fun for the whole family!

Join us for a morning of reading and conversation with local authors Janet Ruth (Feathered Dreams) and Michelle Otero (Bosque Poems). In Feathered Dreams, Janet Ruth--ornithologist, poet, artist, and international birder--shares her love of birds through poem, story, and image. Michelle Otero's Bosque Poems celebrates the importance of water and the bosque to the people of Albuquerque. We will have signed copies of these books, free refreshments, crafts, and a related educational activity.
