Registration opens May 1 at 8:00 a.m. Aiken Audubon members may register first from May 1 through May 10. Starting at 8:00 a.m. on May 1, you may email fieldtrips@aikenaudubon.com to reserve your spot. Have you donated any amount to Aiken in the past one year? Then you’re a member!

Each person may only register for 2 people. This trip is limited to 12 participants. After May 10th, the offering will be open to the general public if there is space remaining….so register early! If you have attended this trip before, we ask that you delay signing up so that others may attend.

We will meet at the Manitou Experimental Forest (MEF). Meeting details will be provided to confirmed participants closer to the trip.  Please note that this experience will likely involve hiking in the dark, possibly over some rugged, inclined terrain.

We kindly request a $25 donation per person, cash or check made payable to Aiken; 100% supports Dr. Linkhart’s ongoing research.  If you are in need of partial scholarship to cover this donation, please request with you RSVP.

We will check-in with the twelve confirmed individuals a few days beforehand to confirm.  Please list your best contact information within the registration request (email and phone number) for each individual.  There will be a waitlist option.
