Education
Conservation Education
Our mission is to conserve and restore natural ecosystems, focusing on birds,
wildlife and habitats for the benefit of humanity and the Earth’s biological
diversity.
Education is our primary goal, both in Santa Fe and around the state,
where our staff of environmental educators blend scientific concepts
with literacy, hands-on learning, and scientific inquiry in a unique
setting.
Programs for Children & Schools
An exciting array of natural science programs and topics are available
to children from schools, home school groups, after school programs
and other groups. Our field trip classes offer interactive science
activities designed to complement teacher’s science curriculum
and fulfill New Mexico science standards. The educators at Randall
Davey Audubon Center blend scientific concepts with literacy, reading,
math, history and inquiry. Classes are filled with hands-on activities
and outdoor experiences in our 135 acre wildlife sanctuary bordering
the Santa Fe National Forest at the end of Upper Canyon Road. Groups
and kids of all ages can explore our 1300-square foot classroom and
the natural world surrounding it. Program
and registration information.
Scholarship and Education Fund
Studies have shown that when children are given the chance to explore and
learn in the outdoors they have improved academic performance and behavior
while also making a lasting connection with the world around us. If you
are interested in helping us give all children the opportunity to experience
the wonders of nature, please consider making a donation to our Scholarship
and Education Fund.
