Upcoming Events

Saturday, May 3, 2025 - We have been invited to visit the Arboretum at the Bosque del Apache Refuge south of Socorro on Saturday May 3rd, from 9 to 11 am. There should be plenty of plants in flower, there are many native plants and cacti to enjoy. Come earlier to enjoy birds and other wildlife.
The location is south of Socorro on NM 1. From I-25, you can enter NM 1 a little south of Socorro.  Or exit I-25 at San Antonio, drive east about 0.5 mile, and then go south on NM 1. In your navigation system, set the destination as Bosque del Apache Visitors Center.
There are shaded picnic tables there so you are welcome to bring along lunch to join with other CSSNM members.
