Open Spaces on Field Trips

There’s room for you on a Field Trip!

 Check out the map below to view Field Trips with open spaces available.
(Note, this map is updated manually once a day, so there may be a lag time in taking off trips that fill up.)

Note: You must be a current member of the Foundation to register for Field Trips. Not currently a member? There’s an option to add a $35 membership donation as you register for a Field Trip. Your gift supports our mission to protect Wisconsin’s lands, waters, and wildlife, and ensures you are on the mailing list for the 2026 Field Trip Guidebook.

 

For more information on the physical demand ratings visit our Field Trip accessibility page.

Note: the locations on the map are approximate. When you register for a trip, the exact meeting location for the trip will be emailed to you about two weeks prior to the trip dates.
