Connecting People, Nature & Community
Together we can do so much...
Discover Niños y Naturaleza
Nearly 300 children • Urban and rural public schools • Learning through nature
Making Positive Connections with Nature
Children who spend time in nature develop curiosity, confidence and a deeper understanding of the living world around them. These enriching early experiences shape how they see themselves, their community and their connection to and responsibility for the natural world throughout their lives.
Planting Seeds for Positive Change
Through Niños y Naturaleza and Eco-Niños, students learn by doing—planting and tending gardens, exploring wildlife and habitats, taking field trips, reading, creating art and stories, and spending meaningful time outdoors. These experiences help children build knowledge, practical skills and a lasting relationship with nature.
See Niños y Naturaleza in Action
Experience Niños y Naturaleza through our short film, Los maestros del mañana.

LA VIDA DE LAS CACHINCHES MURAL WALKWAY
12 large-scale murals along Las Cachinches Corridor to bring people closer to nature
La Vida de Las Cachinches invites the community to rediscover and care for the ancient waterway that has supported people and wildlife since time immemorial.

WHAT'S UP THIS SEASON?
NESTING SEASON
Some birds are still nesting, such as barn swallows and egrets, and many birds are teaching their young the skills they need to survive.
You may find a fledgling on the ground and think that it has been abandoned, but this is part of their learning process as they learn to hunt for food and strengthen their wings.
Nesting season is critical to the survival of bird populations and a time when birds are most vulnerable to disturbance from people, pets or construction. This is not the time to trim your trees or shrubs, unless you have thoroughly examined them to make sure they are free of nests.
Laws, like the Migratory Bird Treaty Act make it illegal to disturb many species or their nests, including Snowy and Great Egrets.
For the curious, we have assembled information, videos and broadcasts about bird nests and nesting habits, with a focus on our local birds.
GARDENING FOR WILDLIFE
The garden suggests there might be a place where we can meet nature halfway.
—Michael Pollan
Volunteer at our Parque Juarez Pollinator Garden
Our Audubon de Mexico demonstration and education habitat garden for pollinators was established in 2015 and has since tripled in size. Filled with plants that attract birds, bees, and butterflies, our garden is a haven for these important creatures. Join our dedicated volunteers every Thursday morning from 9:30 until 11:30 as we tend to the garden by planting, pruning, and watering.
For more information, please contact us at audubondemexico@gmail.com.
