Our monthly, public meetings are currently in person at the UNM Continuing Eduction Building, 1634 University Ave NE. They are free, and there is plenty of free parking.  Masks are currently optional at UNM Continuing Education, and you may bring water for yourself if you wish. Snacks may be available if brought by volunteers.

Meetings may move to a new location in 2023, so watch for email announcements or check here any day after Christmas for an update.

Meetings begin at 7 p.m. usually on the first Wednesday of each month except August and December, and they are open to the public. Questions about meetings or the speakers can be sent to our program coordinator Sara Keeney at abq "at" npsnm.org.

If we announce that a Zoom connection is available, you may join meetings between 6:50 (no earlier) and 7:00 p.m. by clicking on the link, then click "allow" for Zoom to start up, and "agree" if asked to join with computer audio. You may have to wait briefly to be admitted by the host. The longer it is after 7 p.m.when you connect, the longer you may have to wait to be noticed by the host. Please remain muted during the meeting unless there is a specific need for you to speak to the entire group, otherwise the program may be interrupted by your background noise and feedback. 

In addition to officially organized field trips, members are encouraged to continue getting outside for exercise, sunshine, and native plant appreciation. Please minimize wear and tear on the terrain and vegetation by staying on the trail and going single file if it is narrow. We invite you to join our members-only Facebook group: Native Plant Soc. of NM, Albuquerque Chapter and post your observations or your invitations to informal hikes in advance for others to join you.
