Then on Sunday, July 13th we will be treated to a tour of the Rio Bosque Wetlands Park . This tour will be an easy two mile hike over mostly level terrain. John Sproul will be introducing you to the Park -- its history, its plants and animals, and the ecosystem restoration work in progress. This is a wonderful treasure right here in our own backyard. Here is a link to view some of the birds that visit the Rio Bosque at various times of the year. This is one area that you may want to visit often. The Rio Bosque Wetlands Park has a monthly newsletter.
