This video is about a project in 2025 led by Ann Hunkins who, along with a group of volunteers, set about to estimate how many badgers live in the bosque, our cottonwood forest that runs through the center of Albuquerque. Yes! There are badgers in the middle of Albuquerque. They're very shy, so you probably won't be lucky enough to ever see one unless you watch this video. The project's game camera footage is book-ended by claymation characters who learn about who digs bosque burrows. This is a great video to watch before taking fourth-graders on the Albuquerque Bernalillo County Water Utility fourth-grade field trip to the river. Or it's great for anyone, any age, who wants to learn more our bosque burrows.
