Forays

We will be hosting 3 forays per week from July to September this year, read on for foray guidelines and rules!

Forays are organized, (usually) ticketed outings for CMS members. If the foray is ticketed, you can find a link to claim a free ticket in an email sent to all members before the foray as well as in the event on the website. 

TLDR;

Look below to read our full participant guidelines for tips on what to bring, what to wear, and how to get the most out of your foray!
  • Our forays are a benefit for CMS members. If you have an individual membership and plan to bring your partner and/or children, please consider upgrading to a family membership. It costs only $10 more.
  • A Foray leader and assistants will provide instruction on appropriate methods of collecting, after which the participants fan out in small groups to search for specimens. At an appointed time, they reconvene and the leaders provide further instruction in correct procedures for identification.
  • Forays usually last about 4-5 hours including travel time.
  • Forays involve light physical exertion sometimes at high altitudes.
  • Remember to bring water & sunscreen
