Please join us for the upcoming meetings and field trips. 
For field trips, please dress accordingly, and bring water, snacks, sunscreen, and bug spray.  We usually eat out during the trip, but you may bring lunch.  For all trips where carpooling is available, there is a $5 fee per person for using this service to reimburse the driver for the gas.
 
Please contact us at fieldtripsobg@yahoo.com to sign up for trips in advance, or to confirm date, time, and meeting place.  There is also a nominal fee of $5 for non-members to participate in our field trips.
