About field trips. We go rain or shine, so proper dress and footwear are essential.
Bring food and water on trips. Participation is free (other than contribution to carpool driver) and is at your own risk. Everyone (or their guardian) will need to sign a release waiver before leaving on trips and clean their boots or shoes to prevent spread of nonnative seeds.
Trips leave promptly at stated times. Dogs are not allowed on field trips.
