Chapter Outings
In 2008, the Superior California Chapter of AEP will keep offering field trips and site visits for our members
and their guests.
Mixers and lunchtime presentations are a great way to meet other environmental and planning professionals and
keep abreast of current issues.
They are a cornerstone of AEP.
But mixers and lunches are indoor activities, and we are environmental professionals.
Our hearts are in the outdoors.
So we will hold field trips, site visits, and mobile workshops.
We hope these trips will provide quality educational and bonding experiences for our members.
We are considering environmental education activities, mobile workshops to actual project sites to learn about
case studies, and fun trips like vernal pool tours, wildflower walks, and hikes to unique places.
Perhaps you have a project you are particularly proud of and would like to share some lessons learned.
Maybe you know of a special outdoor natural history location you’d love to share with your fellow AEP members.
If so… Please contact Jennifer Donovan,
your Activities Coordinator, with your ideas.
