2008 Field Trips – Revised Schedule 25 July 2008 The Botanical Society of Washington plans to offer five local field trips in the Washington, D.C., region in the 2008 season, including a short-distance, easy-going, everybody-welcome fall trip appropriate for old-timers, little kids, and others. We also plan a weekend excursion farther afield, this year to central Delmarva, Aug. 2-3. Unless indicated otherwise, Society field trips are open to the interested public.
