All levels of naturalists, including beginners,
are most welcome on Eastern Long Island Audubon field trips.
Most trips are free to attend,
however, sometimes the venue we are visiting has a fee.
We try to make a note of it in the notice.
Eileen Schwinn, Field Trip Chair
Please remember to register with the leaders of these trips. Just in the case there are unexpected changes or the weather does not cooperate and plans have to change!
