The majority of PEEC’s talks will continue to take place online in June, but more in-person programming, like the popular Summer Family Evening events, will also be starting up next month. PEEC hopes to host additional in-person programming and talks starting in July. Visit PEEC’s upcoming events page at peecnature.org/events to see what’s on the horizon.
In addition to updating the center’s open hours, PEEC is adopting new mask guidance in June. Starting June 1, masks will be optional for visitors, staff and volunteers who have been vaccinated for COVID-19. Unvaccinated individuals, including children under 12, are required to continue wearing a mask while visiting the Los Alamos Nature Center. All visitors should continue to wear a mask while visiting the nature center in May.
