ABQ Backyard Refuge Program - Share space with wildlife!

Our backyards can be a window into our wondrously complex natural world, filled with extraordinary interactions and interdependencies. Learn all about the ABQ Backyard Refuge Program and how you can build a certified backyard refuge. You can build a refuge for wildlife with a patio or balcony, or just by being a lazy gardener! We’ll explore the ways you can support our wild neighbors by sharing resources and being responsive to their needs.
