PEEC News:

Please join PEEC at the Los Alamos Nature Center from the comfort of your couch 6 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 12 for a talk with Bandelier’s international intern Erwin Lopez Osorio.

Bandelier’s native fish population has been severely impacted by several factors, ultimately leading to the extirpation of many native fish from the rivers and streams within Bandelier. During this talk, Lopez Osorio will discuss the types of native fish originally found within the area, the factors that limited or completely eradicated populations, and the measures currently being taken to reintroduce endangered fish populations back into Bandelier National Monument.
