We are an environmental education center in the Sandia Mountains east of Albuquerque, New Mexico on 128 acres owned by Albuquerque Public Schools (APS), and jointly run by APS and the New Mexico Museum of Natural History and Science (NMMNHS). The center has been teaching programs for students since 1967.
We provide Ecology Field Programs for all 5th graders in Albuquerque Public Schools, and for many from Rio Rancho Public Schools and other area schools. Our educators additionally lead statewide outreach programs, public events, teacher workshops, and design outdoor education curriculum.
** Please note that the SMNHC and its trails are not open to the public, except for special events.**
You can find more information about the Sandia Mountain Natural History Center (SMNHC), our school, summer, and public programs; and access our lessons at www.nmnaturalhistory.org/smnhc .

We had the opportunity to host two Artists in Residence this spring through @NewMexicoArts. Anthony Corraro's art uses rock dust pigments filtered through screens to create intricate temporary designs.
“I’m an ephemeral artist. I make art that isn’t meant to last, and it’s art that looks to explore ideas of ephemerality, non-attachment, and kind of exploring value in the moment- what value can be had in the moment. So, what inspired this current body of work is my concern for public lands, as they’re constantly under threat of being abused or neglected or irrevocably changed.”
