BMC Field Trip sUMMARY

The Boston Mineral Club maintains a very active field trip program as a cornerstone of our educational activities in earth science.

Since 2019 Jonathan Goldberg is serving as the chair of the BMC Field Trip Committee.

If you have any suggestions for the trips or would like to lead a trip please contact him via email.

The BMC Field Trip Calendar will continue to be updated throughout the collecting season.

As the Calendar is updated, details of each trip will be published in the BMC News newsletter.
