We are a recognized chapter of the National Audubon Society. Our membership region covers most of north-central New Mexico, including Placitas, Santa Fe, Taos, Raton and all points in between. We take our name from the iconic Sangre de Cristo mountain range which extends from Colorado to just south of Santa Fe.
