Dear BernCo Open Space Supporters,

Spring Family Fun Days
Every Sunday, Noon – 5 p.m. Bachechi Open Space 9521 Rio Grande Blvd. NW
March – Where’s the Wildlife?
Identify and search for your favorite fuzzy animals, use a microscope to uncover a world we cannot usually see, and analyze the adaptions that allow animals to live in our desert ecosystem.
April – What’s Up, Wind and Weather?
Keep an eye to the sky and your back to the wind as you help us take measurements of the Rio Grande’s weather patterns. Use an anemometer, and build one to take home, while learning about the lore of weather in Albuquerque.
May – Plants and Pollinators
Discover the flowers in bloom and get to know the pollinators that make them possible through scavenger hunts, observations and experiments. Learn to identify your favorite flower then cut it open to see what is inside or track a pollinator from plant to nest.

Presenter: Sherry Robinson
This talk, described as a walk in the moccasins of the Apaches, includes true stories told in their own words and an overview of Apache history, culture and values.
