Shared Field Trips

    The Field Trip page is for all Club/Society and CFMS sponsored shared field trips who abide by the AFMS Code of Ethics.
To attend or host a field trip, refer to the instructions below.

Share Your Field Trips

    We need field trips to post on this page. As you are planning field trips for this coming year, consider sharing them with other rockhounds if the locale is appropriate. Your club does not have to share all of your field trips, but it would be great to share.

    Make your plans to join us, whether for a day, a few days or a whole week. Once Field Trips are online, and you see a trip you would like to attend, contact the leader for details and let them know you will attend. Never just show up.

    This is a new way to announce and share field trips. It will provide us with the opportunity for more trips, to learn about new and different collecting sites and have a greater variety of locations. It is also a great way to make new rockhound friends.
