Las
Cruces, NM is the permanent home of The Nielsen Environmental
Field School. Las Cruces is located at the foot of the Organ
Mountains in southern New Mexico along the Rio Grande River.
Las Cruces, situated in the heart of the Mesilla Valley, is
primarily an agricultural area famous for its crops of chili
peppers, cotton, onions and pecans -- many species of which
have been developed for commercial growing by New Mexico State
University's agricultural department which is also based in
Las Cruces. Las Cruces is home to NASA and, just across the
Organ Mountains to the east, White Sands Missile Range and
White Sands National Monument. Strongly influenced by Mexican
culture, visitors to Las Cruces are treated to some of the
finest Mexican foods you will find anywhere! Visitors will
also find miles of trails for hiking, biking and off-road
trekking through the mountains and surrounding desert terrain
where a variety of wildlife, including Dalls Sheep, bobcats,
Oryx, mountain lions, coyotes and rabbits abound. Las Cruces
is a popular location for many NCAA tournaments and hotels
often fill early.
