Join PEEC at 6:30 p.m., Wednesday, July 19, for a special visit from the New Mexico Wildlife Center.
This Summer Family Evening program, sponsored by Del Norte Credit Union, is perfect for families who want to learn about local habitats, responsible rehabilitation, conservation and biology, and what to do if you find an injured wild animal. The Wildlife Center will also bring along its rescued raptor and owl ambassadors, allowing participants to meet these amazing creatures in person.
The New Mexico Wildlife Center, located in Española, was founded in 1986 by Dr. Kathleen Ramsay. It has grown from its original purpose of rehabilitating birds into its current mission to treat all animal species in New Mexico. Because many animals cannot be released back into the wild, the Wildlife Center also operates a wildlife sanctuary, housing over 30 animals. Visitors are welcome from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., Monday through Friday.
PEEC’s final Summer Family Evening, Eclipse Night, begins at 6:30 p.m., Wednesday, July 26, at the Los Alamos Nature Center. Join local astronomers to learn more about the upcoming solar eclipse, including its historical and scientific roots. Participants will enjoy a planetarium presentation before viewing the heavens through a telescope lens.
Summer Family Evenings would not be possible without the generous support of Del Norte Credit Union. The programs are free for PEEC members or $5 per family for non-members. No registration is required.
