SIMCHA SCHOOL brings us Ranger Bill Pentler for an engaging hands-on presentation about our Albuquerque eco-system. ALL ARE WELCOME!

RANGER WILLIAM (BILL) PENTLER grew up in Wisconsin fascinated by animals and nature. He holds degrees in Zoology and Psychology. After college, Bill became a lead zookeeper at Lion Country Safari in Florida for more than 8 years and also was the Education Coordinator at the park for 5 of those years. Bill moved to Albuquerque in 1995 and worked at the Rio Grande Zoo for a few years, then shifted to State Parks as a Law Enforcement State Park Ranger and Park Naturalist at Fenton Lake in the Jemez Mountains for over 3 years. He moved back to Albuquerque and started working for the City at the Animal Shelters as a Supervisor. After 2 years Bill transferred to the Open Space Division and recently retired after working with them for 17 years. Many of us have enjoyed planting trees in the Bosque with Bill and the other Open Space Rangers for Tu B’shevat. Bill is an avid photographer and was recently accepted as a board member to the Open Space Alliance. He volunteers around the city as an environmental educator.

On Sunday, July 13, the Interfaith Remembrance of the Trinity Test will continue efforts to educate, network, and strengthen our resolve to address this toxic legacy and work for a world without nuclear weapons. This annual interfaith remembrance , initiated by Archbishop Wester, will also be in Albuquerque this year, at St Pius X School.

July 16 2025 will mark 80 years since the start of the nuclear weapons era, with detonation about 200 miles south of Albuquerque at the Trinity Test Site, an event which is still affecting many New Mexicans.  Now the whole world is closer than ever to a nuclear war, accidents, or other disaster being triggered.  On July 12, Nahalat Shalom will host a kickoff event for Back from the Brink NM, to bring action and awareness to our current dangers and how we can prevent nuclear war and abolish nuclear weapons.  Be there Saturday, July 12, beginning at 6:30 pm, to learn what’s happening now and what we can do about it.   Watch this space for more information and volunteer opportunities.
