Upcoming Field Trips
The Linnaean Society is your gateway to birding across New York’s diverse ecosystems. Throughout the year, we offer up to one hundred field trips and other events led by passionate volunteer naturalists. Our core emphasis is on the avian world, but our field trips embrace the interests of plant, bat, dragonfly, and butterfly enthusiasts.
Our excursions grant unparalleled access to little-known natural wonders stretching from the metropolitan area to the majestic Adirondack Mountains. We visit locations across New York City, Westchester County, New Jersey, and Connecticut, ensuring accessibility through public transport or arranging carpool trips for remote destinations.
Central Park holds a special place in our hearts, offering a multitude of adventures that include weekly Tuesday morning walks during spring and fall migrations. These walks are open to everyone, irrespective of membership status. Non-members are warmly welcomed for all other field trips, with priority given to our valued members. To delve into further details, please refer to our informative About Our Trips and Membership pages.
