The value of educating young people about the environment is beyond measure and is a priority of the refuge.  Wildlife conservation and nature depend upon the education of future generations.  Because children learn about the environment by interacting with it, environmental instruction with hands-on experiences are available for children of all ages.

Such experiences play a crucial role in shaping lifelong attitudes toward wildlife and nature. The Sevilleta National Wildlife Refuge is committed to creating such educational experiences through environmental education programs that include on-site activities, outreach programs and classroom experiences for students.

For information about environmental education programs, please call the Visitor Services Manager at (505) 864-4021 or email jeannine_kimble@fws.gov.
