Please plan to join us next week 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

SpeakerMy 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 abstractI 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.
