About Field Trips

We invite proposals for field trips for the 100^th ESA Annual Meeting, “Ecological Science at the Frontier: Celebrating ESA’s Centennial.” 

Field trips allow participants to explore ecological attractions local to the meeting city and region. Trips may last part of a day, an entire day, or two days (with an overnight stay included). Most trips require bus transportation; however, we very much welcome walking and biking tours close to the convention center. Use of public transportation is also encouraged, if applicable. There is a vast array of things to experience in Baltimore, and we hope attendees take the chance to see what Baltimore has to offer.

Trips that last all or most of a day are usually scheduled during the weekend prior to the beginning of the formal scientific program. Shorter trips may take place over the weekend or during the week. Field trips may be linked with other conference events.
