Join Audubon New Mexico and The Nature Conservancy as we celebrate the biodiversity in our backyards at the Randall Davey Audubon Center and Sanctuary. The three day event, running Friday, June 1 through Sunday, June 3, will feature daily programs lead by local experts on topics including birds, beavers, stars, moths, native plants, reptiles, amphibians, and pollinators.
All programs are free, family friendly and open to the public.
This biological inventory will serve as baseline data on the established Important Bird Area that includes the Randall Davey Audubon Center and Sanctuary and the adjoining Santa Fe Canyon Preserve on The Nature Conservancy’s property at the top of Cerro Gordo Road.
