Checklist for field trips:

CALL AHEAD: In consideration for the field trip leader, call ahead to say that you plan to attend, to confirm meeting time and place, to find out how long the trip will be (i.e. should you bring lunch, etc.), to check for changes in plan, and to check for a rain date.

BRING: binoculars, field guide(s), suntan/block lotion, water, hat, insect repellent, snacks and/or lunch, pen/pencil & small pad for recording your observations.
