Announcements & NewsSummer ProgramsClasses and outings for July, August, and September have just been posted. See Calendar. Wildflower Hotspot
About 200 yards out the road on Anniversary Mesa (just before NM502 drops steeply down) is a large colony of 4 O'Clocks. Some plants have 100 blooms. In addition, James' hiddenflower is growing nearby. Well worth the walk. For more current blooms, see What's Blooming Now. New at the CenterHave you tried the new self-guiding Ponderosa Nature Trail, which starts from PEEC? Pick up a trail guide outside the front door of PEEC. To save paper, please return the trail guide when you are done. Also new at the center are tadpoles, salamander larvae, a greenhouse, and raised-bed gardens. Stop by and see!
