Valle de Oro National Wildlife Refuge
Valle de Oro National Wildlife Refuge, National Wildlife Refuge in South Valley of Albuquerque, United States.
Valle de Oro spans 570 acres of wetlands, grasslands, and shrublands, providing habitats for migratory birds and diverse wildlife species in Bernalillo County.
The transformation of this former farmland into a National Wildlife Refuge in 2012 marked a new chapter in urban conservation within the United States.
Educational programs at Valle de Oro connect visitors with nature while honoring the historical stewardship of the Tiwa People in this region.
