Field Trips allow members to
explore places or revisit familiar haunts. Each trip is open
to a limited number of participants. Each member may join up
to four trips per year (excluding annual conference trips).
Non-membes may attend as a member’s guest once per year.
Questions about field trips should be directed to the trip
leaders.
If you would like to lead a field trip, or would
like to suggest a location for a field trip, send a note to Matt Bartels or Tim O'Brien,
Field Trip Co-Chairs.

NOTE: The WOS Board has opted to request that field trip participants
