Hello Field Trip Participants,
We have rescheduled the Sevilleta field trip for Friday 5 June.
The plan for the day is exactly the same as before. Meet at the Museum for a 9 a.m. departure and expect to return before 6 p.m. Bring a packed lunch, plenty of water to drink, a sunhat and appropriate footwear.
If this rescheduled time does not work for you, please do contact Brown Paper Tickets at 1-800-838-3006 for a full refund, they are open 24/7.
I hope that the weather cooperates with us this time!

The Sevilleta National Wildlife Refuge (SNWR), established in 1973, is part of the the National Wildlife Refuge System, a network of lands and waters set aside to conserve America's fish, wildlife, and plants, managed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The refuge includes four major ecological zones ranging from Chihuahan desert to the riparian forest of the bosque. Home to approximately 1,200 species of plants, 225 species of birds, 50 species of reptiles, 100 species of mammals, and 15 species of amphibians, the refuge plays host to numerous research sites that monitor ecological change. Much of the refuge is off limits to the public. See an area that the public rarely gets to see, including the SNWR field station, lab building, and reserve research sites including prairie dog restoration and pion-juniper drought experiment sites.
