Upcoming Field Trips

Our 2025 schedule of field trips has concluded. Please be sure to check back in the spring to see what we have in store for next year.

4th of July Butterfly Counts

No weekend field trips are scheduled for late June and July because many members participate in Fourth of July Counts, which are held on weekends during this period. If you are interested in participating, contact the count leader.
