Suggestions
Food: Snacks at your discretion
Binoculars: A must for bird watching enjoyment.
7x35, 8x36 or 10x50 recommended
Field Guides: Guides for birds, butterflies, trees,
flowers, ferns, etc. are helpful
Footwear: Comfortable, sturdy shoes are recommended.
Dress: For winter trips, very warm clothing is
advised, even for mild forecasted days. For other seasons,
do carry warm sweaters or jackets. We walk slowly to better
observe the smaller wonders around us. We do not hike.
Warning: The tick for Lyme disease is black, very
small, and potentially everywhere. Nymphs are poppy seed
size, and adults are sesame seed size. Both feed on human
blood. We urge you, when on a field trip, to wear long-sleeved
shirts and pants, with the legs tucked into socks. Check
yourself for ticks upon returning home. You may also consider
using a repellent.
Pets: No pets on field trips.
Children: Children over ten years are welcome on
all trips. Other trips where younger children are welcome
are so noted. All children must be accompanied by a parent
or responsible adult.
