The Pajarito Environmental Education Center (PEEC) would like to share that construction on the Los Alamos Nature Center building exterior commences today, Monday, Oct. 21 and is anticipated to last approximately three weeks.

The Los Alamos Nature Center will remain open throughout this project with no anticipated disruptions to its regular hours or PEEC’s scheduled programming. This construction is part of Los Alamos County’s ongoing efforts to enhance the nature center facility and ensure it meets the needs of visitors.

PEEC appreciates the community’s understanding and support as they work to improve the building. In addition to the building construction, nearby projects, including the Urban Trail Project and ADA trail in Kinnikinnik Park, are also underway. While these projects are separate, PEEC will continue to communicate any relevant updates to ensure a seamless experience for nature center visitors.

PEEC encourages everyone to visit the Los Alamos Nature Center this fall to enjoy the exhibits and programs.
