PTAS Field Trips

One of the most satisfying experiences of the Audubon members the successful field trip. Field trips are typically scheduled on Saturdays, unless otherwise noted. Below are the dates for upcoming trips and advice on how to make them enjoyable.

Three Field Trip Rules

Rule 1: RSVP the week of the trip.  Only by knowing how many people will be present can we have enough leaders on hand to make the outing a rewarding experience for everyone.
Contact:
Karen Carbeiner at 972-824-2878;
  or karen.carbiener<at> prairieandtimbers org
Tom Heath at 972-867-8646;
  or heathwtom<at> netscape net.

Rule 2: Please arrive 10 minutes early! When it says the trip will meet, that means "Depart". Don't miss out!

Rule 3: Bring sun screen, water and snacks.

A PTAS field trip e-mail is sent out the Monday before each field trip. The e-mail serves as a reminder and contains detailed directions to the site and any last minute information. If you would like to be added to the field trips e-mail list, send an e-mail to Tom Heath, heathwtom<at>netscape net. Please include your name since some e-mail addresses are rather cryptic
