Located in the bosque, or cottonwood forest, and
by the wetland bordering the Rio Grande, the Nature Center is the
focus of the Rio Grande Nature Center State Park. A refuge from
the city life of Albuquerque, the park offers opportunities to
experience 270 acres of woods, meadows and farmland flourishing
with native grasses, wildflowers, willows and cottonwoods.
Sierra Pacific products are featured in the Wildlife Rehabilitation
Center, where sick or injured animals receive care and nutrition.
Sandstone and sage green exterior casements, awnings and direct
glaze units grace the building and harmonize with the surrounding
landscape.
The clerestory windows
provide natural daylight to soothe the animals within.
