Something For Everyone

PEEC's home in Los Alamos is uniquely perched between the sun drenched Rio Grande Valley and the deep green coolness of the Jemez Mountains. Low and high elevation ecosystems overlap and result in rich diversity and many opportunities for exploratory learning.

  • Explore interactive exhibits that reveal some of nature’s secrets.
  • See displays of local animals and plants, including amphibians, birds, butterflies, and fossils.
  • Adopt a live animal.
  • Attend a nature talk or hike led by a local expert.
  • Stroll nearby trails while searching for wildlife or clues they left behind. Pick up a trail description at PEEC.
  • Photograph scenic views of nearby Pueblo Canyon.
  • Register your kids for classes, summer camps, or nature clubs.
  • Ask an expert about plants on Tuesdays and Fridays or about birds on Wednesdays.
  • See examples of low water use lawns and gardens.
  • Use the herbarium to identify local plants.
  • Drop off ink jet cartridges for recycling.
  • Visit the gift shop for local nature items, including PEEC's publications about local plants, animals, and trails.
