Fossil Club
The fossil club is a group of novice and more experienced collectors who meet to share knowledge and discuss fossil identification, fossil locations, and other fossil-related topics. Monthly meetings feature guest speakers both from within the club and from outside organizations. We also strive to schedule frequent collecting trips to various locations.
Herpetology Club
The herp club promotes the proper husbandry, conservation, study, and appreciation of reptiles and amphibians. Amateurs, professionals, and kids of all ages are welcome. Monthly meetings allow networking with top experts, while members-only field trips to local sites allow us to find and photograph native reptiles and amphibians.
Lepidoptery Club
The lep club is for people interested in both rearing and learning more about moths and butterflies. Novices and experts exchange knowledge and provide mutual support concerning identification, habitat, threats, food sources, and life cycles. Club meetings can include both formal presentations and open discussion on personal experiences. Meetings typically also include time to distribute host plants, caterpillars, and eggs.
