Please plan to join us on the evening of September 5 to hear Paul Mauermann tell us about Sandia Mountain Natural History Center. 

Date and Time - September 5, 7:00 PM

Location - Sandia Ranger Station conference room

Speaker - My name is Paul Mauermann and I am the Director of the Sandia Mountain Natural History Center. I have been at the SMNHC, a partnership between the New Mexico Museum of Natural History & Science and Albuquerque Public Schools, for 23 years. I’m a native of Philadelphia but came to New Mexico as a park ranger at Carlsbad Caverns National Park. My degree is from the University of Delaware in History and American Studies, but I have fallen in love with the world of informal education because I think it adds the context and realism that formal education often lacks.

Program abstract - I will be talking about the Sandia Mountain Natural History Center. Many people don’t know very much about the SMNHC so I will be talking about our educational programs both in the Sandias and across the state. I will be also touching on the science that the SMNHC is involved in. As part of the New Mexico Museum of Natural History and Science a big part of our job is to continue to learn about the Sandias and New Mexico. Our “research” has been around forest health, ecology and the animals of the Sandias – especially bears.
