PEEC News:

Learn more about wildflowers on the Pajarito Plateau with Pajarito Environmental Education Center’s Jemez Mountain Herbarium Curator Chick Keller who is leading a walk highlighting local wildflowers at 5:30 p.m. Monday, July 23.

These monthly outings are easy walks to identify some of the wildflower beauties found in and around Los Alamos. Each month Keller selects a different trail, depending on what is blooming at the time. The walks are free and there is no advance registration required.

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

Participants receive a plant list and that, along with instruction from Keller, helps learn how to identify wildflowers blooming in Los Alamos.

The next wildflower walks are Monday, Aug. 20 and Monday, Sept. 17.
