Join us on a Field Trip!

Our new slate of 2022 Field Trips will be announced in early March.

Every year we offer 200+ Field Trips across Wisconsin exploring the great outdoors and learning about critical conservation issues with top-notch leaders.

Note: You must be a current member of the Foundation to register for Field Trips. If you are not a currently a member, we invite you to become a member now, and join us out in the field in our 2022 season. Your gift supports our mission to care for Wisconsin’s lands, waters, and wildlife.

Face mask rules

Face masks remain a critical safety element during the pandemic.  Continuing into the 2022 season NRF will require the following face mask rules at Field Trips and events:

Outdoor Field Trips: Face masks are optional for fully vaccinated persons*, and we ask that unvaccinated persons wear face masks.**

Indoor Field Trips & on busses/shuttling in vehicles: We ask that all persons wear a face mask.

* Face masks may be required on some of our outdoor Field Trips due to leader preference or local/ facility policies. Participants will be notified of this via email prior to the Field Trip or event.

** The Foundation does not have the capacity to screen for proof of vaccination.

If safety guidelines change we will adapt accordingly, canceling trips as necessary, or adding spaces on trips should the COVID-19 threat subside. If a trip is canceled due to COVID-19, your registration fees will be refunded upon request.

What makes our Field Trips special?

Our Field Trips generally run May through October each year and highlight the best of Wisconsin’s natural world. We offer unique opportunities for all ages to explore Wisconsin’s lands, waters and wildlife by foot, bike, and boat.

Our Field Trips are led by professional natualists who share their love and knowledge of Wisconsin’s lands, waters, and wildlife. Enjoy up-close experiences to Wisconsin’s natural world and learn about the critical conservation work being done to protect it.
