She has graciously volunteered to make this a LAWIS event as well. You do not need to be a LAWIS member to come. The field trip will last all day, but it is possible to join for only the morning or afternoon 1/2. We will need to carpool since parking a bunch of cars along the road at the various stops can be tricky.
