Field Trips: Notes and Guides

Over the years I have enjoyed many Field Trips and led a few. Some of the Guides for my Field Trips are available here for download. I also include some Notes from a very enjoyable European Field Trip, which featured only a little about bimrocks, but was a lot of fun. Please contact me if you want to contribute content to this site but note that I only post useful and well-presented material. Use the resources freely, but please credit  authors!
