The Friends of Hagerman host a speaker for a nature presentation on the Second Saturday of each month.  Topics vary every month, but always have relevance for people who love the refuge.

Every month the refuge sponsors an 90 minute program for children.  Parents are welcome but not required to stay for the program. Children will learn about nature while doing crafts and other fun activities.

The garden is free of charge and open to the public from sunrise to sunset everyday of the year; garden walk events are scheduled periodically from April through October.  Come alone or bring the family!  Registration is optional, do so to add it to your calendar.
