PEEC News:

The community is invited to join Pajarito Environmental Education Center’s Jemez Mountain Herbarium curator, Chick Keller, for an easy walk to identify local wildflower species in bloom on the Pajarito Plateau. Wildflower Walks are free, and no advance registration is required.

Wildflower Walks take place one Monday a month, but the viewing season is coming to a close. Don’t miss the next outing Sept. 11 before the chill of fall sets in. Participants will receive a plant list and that, along with instruction from Keller, will help to learn how to identify wildflowers blooming in Los Alamos.

The group will meet at 5:30 p.m. at the Los Alamos Nature Center at 2600 Canyon Road, to carpool to the trailhead.
