Nature education center in Los Alamos to hold grand opening

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) - A grand opening will be held Wednesday for a new nature education center in Los Alamos.

The Albuquerque Journal reports (https://bit.ly/1yI7Web) that the Los Alamos Nature Center will serve as a site for discussions on subjects ranging from bighorn sheep to honeybees.

Los Alamos County provided $4.3 million for the building and hired the nonprofit Pajarito Environmental Education Center to run it.

The Pajarito Environmental Education Center has been renting a pre-school building since 2005 to offer its ongoing programs, which include nature playtimes for toddlers, local hikes and wildflower walks.
