Placitas Wildlife Trails:
From birds and reptiles to coyotes and bobcats, Placitas is a valuable link in regional wildlife migration routes. Migratory movements in the Sandia/Jemez/Galisteo areas are key to major linkages from Mexico to Canada. Join us for a morning with speakers Dave Foreman and Dave Parsons from the Rewilding Institute http://www.rewilding.org/ to learn about our role and how to be a good neighbor to wild communities.
