All trips are open to anyone interested in birding, wildlife watching, and exploring Florida's natural areas. No reservations are necessary unless otherwise noted on the outings descriptions available below. Fees for reserved trips must be received in advance to insure a reservation.

For all trips, please bring binoculars, bird/nature guides, water, snacks, and sunscreen. Wear comfortable walking shoes (no flip-flops!) and a hat, and please note that some trips may require shoes to get wet.

Please remember to walk and speak quietly during the outings so as not to frighten the wildlife. Arrive at least 15 minutes prior to departure times to sign in. Walkie-talkies will be provided this year on outings, but please be sure to return these to the trip leader before departing.

Car pooling, when possible, is appreciated. All trips are subject to rescheduling or cancellation due to inclement weather or other unforeseen circumstances. Contact information for each outing is provided in the description.

Please note that some of the trips require pre-registration and some have limited numbers of participants.
