We will be going over our upcoming field trip season, with

an example of what tools you will need. Field trips
descriptions will be put on our fieldtrip website starting
this week and automated emails will be sent out when the trips
are posted. The fieldtrip list has been uploaded onto the
Fieldtrip website. There are still some claim owners that
we are waiting on confirmation of dates and those are shown
in italics. We will continue to add trips to this list as
they become available. If you would like to lead a trip to
an additional site this summer, let us know. Bring the fieldtrip
list with you to the meeting if possible, as I will have some
additional copies available.
