Please call the trip leader/event contact for where to meet, start time and other important details about each field trip or event.  There is limited space on some trips, so we suggest calling the trip leader at least two weeks in advance to make a reservation.  You do not have to be a member to join us on the field trips and there is no fee, but donations are welcome.
