It's not your typical "Garden Variety" sponsorship

We have many Species Without Sponsors at the Botanic Garden. Become an eco-friendly BioPark Garden Parent with the adoption of a plant, insect, or Heritage Farm species. Funds from this program support species care, species procurement, education, and conservation programs. This is one gift that really will flower. Order by Friday, August 6 and we’ll include a pair of “We’re Wild About You” binoculars and a complimentary subscription to Better Home & Garden magazine!

Back to School Sponsorships

Cheer on your school with a BioPark Parent Sponsorship! 

Promote conservation and your mascot, too!...

BioPark Parent Sponsorships are a great way to support the community, world, AND your school. Rally your school spirit by supporting a real, live mascot. Or select an animal or plant you will be studying in class to directly support the conservation of the species and make visits to the BioPark ever more fun.

•  $25 - Your school, class, or club receives an animal datasheet, certificate of sponsorship, and name on BioPark Parent Recognition Board located in the Zoo, Aquarium, or Botanic Garden.

• $50 – You also receive a 4x6 framed photograph of  your school's or club's sponsored "wild child."

• $250 - Along with a species datasheet (including an electronic version with reproduction rights), receive a special certificate and 5x7 photograph, framed together for exhibition in a hallway or classroom (next to that diploma!). A BioPark Society representative will personally present the sponsorship to the school, class, or organization if desired.  

 Proceeds through the New Mexico BioPark Society support caregiving, animal enrichment, species procurement, exhibit upgrades, education, and conservation at the Albuquerque BioPark.
