Sandia Mountain
Natural History Center

Guided Tree Identification Hike
in the East Mountains

Sandia Mountain NHC.heic
Join us for a natural history and tree identification trail walk in the East Mountains. Situated on 128 acres of mixed conifer forest, the center is a joint project of the New Mexico Museum of Natural History & Science and Albuquerque Public Schools. It has hosted outdoor science programming since 1967. We will visit the recently completed museum to see specimens of the plants and animals of the area. We will then set out on a guided one/two hour-long, round-trip walk up the mountain. Fiana Shapiro, education director for the Sandia Mountain NHC, and Brandt Magic, Tree Stewards Mentor, will be our guides.

Wednesday, August 12, 9am

This is a moderately strenuous forest walk with a 300 foot elevation gain. Wear a hat, long pants, closed-toe shoes. Bring water. Sunscreen recommended. 
Bring a bagged lunch and picnic with us after the walk.
