Field Trips & Programs Spring/Summer 2020
**NOTE: We are waiting to see how the Covid-19 Outbreak plays out (and the CDC’s recomendations) before posting our May/June field trips in late April. Please check back then. Though the Welcome Center is closed for the season (we always close in mid March), the trails around the Welcome Center and the boardwalks at Warren Nelson Memorial Bog and Fringed Gentian Bog are open to hike and get some fresh air. Thanks and Happy Hunkering!
The Friends of Sax-Zim Bog is continuing to build and offer diverse programming for all of the seasons! All of the field trips are FREE for members who have donated over $25 in the last year. If you are not a member, the $25 Field Trip fee includes a membership and 12-months of free field trips. If you have any questions about any of the programs, field trips, naturalist hikes, or workshops, please contact Head Naturalist Clinton Nienhaus via email at naturalist@saxzim.org. Contact Sarah info@saxzim.org about membership questions. Field Trip dates are subject to change, but will typically be run rain or shine!
**RSVP is REQUIRED for attendance to programs or field trips**
