The Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Refuge (/ˈbsk dɛl əˈpæi/ BOH-skay del ə-PATCH-ee, Spanish: [ˈboske ðel aˈpatʃe]; "Woodland of the Apache") is located in southern New Mexico. It was founded in 1939 and is administered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The Piro people lived in the lands around what is now the refuge until the 1600s, when they were forced to abandon their pueblos due to European diseases and attacks from the Apache tribes.[3] It is a favorite spot to watch the migration of the sandhill cranes in the fall. The reserve is open year-round and provides safe harbor for its varied wildlife.[4] Visitors to the refuge also enjoy partaking in activites such as hiking, cycling, driving tours on the 12-mile scenic auto route, and participating in educational programs offered at the park.[5]
