NMEA Chapter Field Trips

Some of our NMEA Chapters will be offering field trip opportunities on Saturday, July 17th.

Make your field trip selection on the Conference Registration Form. There is limited space available on all field trips. Reserve early as they may sell out quickly! If you can not make the conference, you can still attend a field trip if there is space available. Registration for non-conference participants will be available soon on the field trip page.
