Field trips are held on the last Saturday of each month, unless otherwise indicated. We schedule field trips during season, October-May, and also have field trips over the summer months.
Wear water shoes and bring a hat, insect repellant, sun tan lotion and drinking water. Hopefully these places will be high and dry - but who knows?
