Field Trips Outside Westchester
- When you register for a field trip, we will send you an email with the meeting place and other details and we will also send reminder emails before the trip. If you do NOT get a confirmation email, first check your spam/trash email folders and then email our office because we want to be sure you receive all event info and updates.

Special Outings
10:00 am start at Woodmill Road entrance
Registration required. Register here. Meet at the Woodmill Road entrance where SMRA board member Lynn Salmon will guide a hike in Pruyn Sanctuary to find geocaches hidden in the sanctuary. The hike will last two hours. Check our website for walk status in case of uncertain weather. Wear comfortable shoes for hiking. You may want to visit www.geocaching.com to set up a free account and then download the geocaching app to your phone. Not needed to enjoy this experience since Lynn will have both the phone app to show you and handheld a GPS receiver. Best for adults and youth age 8 and older accompanied by their own adult.
Monthly Bird Walks at Westchester Hotspots
- We do limit our walks to 25 people by advance registration for a better birding experience and we sometimes end up with fewer people depending on the weather and cancellations.
- Because of last minute cancellations, we often draw from the walk’s waiting list in the days before each walk so if a walk is showing as sold out, be sure to click through anyway to get on the waiting list.
