Back in 1999 a large group of citizens gathered in Fuller Lodge to express their interest in a Los Alamos Nature Center. When asked for help in turning the idea into reality, a core group of deeply committed people volunteered. We began to meet in various homes, some of which were lost months later to the Cerro Grande Fire.
We were geologists, physicists, artists, Read More
