BioScape

WINTER 2011 Feature Articles

River Runs to The Sea

The grassy area of the Botanic Garden will be transformed into a seascape with all new sculptures including a whale, octopus, stingray, sea turtle, two live coral pieces, four neon fish and two queen angel fish. The BioPark is making efforts to reduce the stream of energy required to power the event as part of its ongoing initiatives to conserve resources throughout the facility. As such, the River of Lights crew, which works year-round to design and build new sculpture, in addition to repairing and refurbishing old ones, has begun using more LED lighting in the construction of new pieces and replacing incandescent bulbs in some of the older pieces. This alone can result in energy savings of up to 80 percent.

Community of Giving

From beautifying the grounds to providing specialized medical treatment for animals, there is a community of giving in Albuquerque. Here, we recognize just a few who recently have lent a hand for both surgeries and scenery at the BioPark.
