Visitors are welcomed on all trips, Don't be afraid to ask questions and have members show you how to use field guides or other resource materials. We were all novices at one point and we are all still learning. Bring enthusiasm, binoculars, spotting scope (if you have one) camera and dress for the weather.
Please no pets! Service Animals are Permitted
If you are car pooling, and this is recommended for most of our outings, we ask you please be considerate of the driver, and offer reimbursement for part of the fuel costs.
