Field Trips & Projects
Meet like-minded people to learn and enjoy the outdoors. Our field trips are led by expert members and guest leaders on hikes, boat tours, seed collections, plant rescues, invasive eradication, and plant surveys.
Our field trips are typically free, open to the public, may be full or half-days, for the experienced and novice, and can be easy to moderately strenuous.
Watch our Calendar for upcoming Field Trips.
