Audubon Announces 2014- 2015 Winter Closure Schedule

CONTACT: Steve Cary, Operations Manager, Randall Davey Audubon Center & Sanctuary, 505-983-4609, ext 27, scary@audubon.org

The Randall Davey Audubon Center & Sanctuary located at the end of Upper Canyon Road will be closed to the public starting at 1:00 PM December 24, 2014, continuing through February 1, 2015. The closure includes hiking trails, public restrooms and the nature store, and suspension of regularly scheduled Saturday morning bird walks and Friday afternoon Davey House tours.

“Cutting back on winter hours allows our dedicated volunteers to take a much needed break,” explained Steve Cary, Operations Manager for the Audubon Center. “We will look forward to welcoming the public back in February.”

The Audubon Center will reopen to the public on February 2, 2015. Upon reopening, Davey House tours will resume every Friday at 2:00 PM starting on February 6 and weekly Saturday morning bird walks will resume at 8:00 AM on February 7, 2015.

During winter months, please call (505-983-4609) ahead if you have questions about whether or not the Audubon Center will be open.  Occasionally, hazardous driving conditions force us to close for the day or to delay opening in the morning. Ambient weather conditions at the Center can be examined at http://www.weatherlink.com/user/penstemon.
