BEMP along the Rio Grande

Cookie's class had a field trip visit to Bosque School today.


A school representative toured and hiked them through the Bosque along the Rio Grande River.

The Bosque school has a fun and informative guide (white shirt to right)

The Bosque school is a private school that integrates science, stewardship and the environment.

Beautiful day for a hike.........

The school works closely with Sandia National environmental scientist and the University of New Mexico collecting data along the Bosque for the BEMP database.
BEMP (Bosque Ecosystem Monitoring Program)

Cookie is measuring and documenting the water table levels
The Bosque school has been mentoring Cookie's science class on the importance of the environment, the local watershed, ecology and biodiversity of the desert and woodlands in the Bosque along the Rio Grande River.
