The Asombro Institute for Science Education invites you to Wildlife Wonders: Going Batty! This family-friendly event will take place at Asombro’s Chihuahuan Desert Nature Park on Saturday, July 27 from 7 pm until 9 pm. The event will feature exciting activities such as “Tools of the Trade” and “Conservation Heroes.” Hands-on booths will be themed around New Mexican bats and other nocturnal animals in need of conservation and awareness. Participants will also have an opportunity to meet field experts, go on a night hike, and collect up to three trading cards highlighting nocturnal species in need of conservation. Guests should note that this event will take place during and shortly after dusk, so light will be limited.

Wildlife Wonders is supported, in part, by grants to Asombro from the Carroll Petrie Foundation and the New Mexico Department of Game & Fish Share with Wildlife Program. This event is free to the public but a suggested donation of $5 per person or $10 per family will be welcome.
