The Bosque Ecosystem Monitoring Program (BEMP) offers field trips to Albuquerque’s stretch of the Rio Grande. Bring students to the bosque and participate in a long term study that has been monitoring the health and ecology of our cottonwood forests since 1996. Field trips can include groundwater chemistry, arthropod trapping, porcupine tracking, and many other ecological activities. All data collected by students becomes part of UNM research projects and assists with bosque management activities. Get your students in the field and involved in their community… limited funding for transportation and substitute teachers is available!
