Upcoming Events

The MREC is always looking to set up new programs and field trips! There are a lot of exciting programs already scheduled for the months ahead. Field trips are an important part of our programing and we invite everyone to volunteer to lead a trip or event. (We will help with details). Please give us a tentative date, topic and destination. Also if there is a natural history topic you would like to know more about or a topic or location we haven’t visited in a while please send us your suggestions.

We extend our deepest gratitude to the trip leaders and presenters this past year.
 

COVID-19 Guidelines for Field Trips 

Leaders and participants in ABNC trips must adhere to the following guidelines:

  • Pre –registration with contact information collected is required to insure contact tracing if needed.
  • A default number of participants has been set at 8.
  • All participants must wear facial coverings, practice social distancing (at least 6 feet apart for non-family members) and bring their own hand sanitizer if needed.
  • No one shall share binoculars or scopes with non-family members on our trips. Eyes are entry spots for the virus.
  • Leaders have the right to refuse participation to people who do not follow the policies stated here.
  • Leaders should make themselves, and the participants, aware ahead of time of the availability, or not, of restrooms for their trip.
  • Selecting another participant as a co-leader and splitting a group into smaller, safer subgroups is an option, allowing a larger number of participants.
  • Leaders should check ahead of the trip in order to see whether the venue is open, or not, and whether there is preregistration required by the agency responsible for the property.
  • No one shall attend a ABNC trip if ill: Fever, shortness of breath, cough, excessive fatigue or loss of taste.
