About Field Trips<\/h3>\r\n

We invite proposals for field trips for the 2019\u00a0ESA Annual Meeting. Field trips allow participants to explore ecological attractions local to the meeting city and region. Trips may last part of a day, an entire day, or two days (with an overnight stay included). Most trips require bus transportation; however, we welcome\u00a0walking and biking tours close to the convention center. Use of public transportation is also encouraged, if applicable. There is a vast array of things to experience within driving distance of Louisville,\u00a0and we hope attendees take the chance to see what the area\u00a0has to offer.<\/p>\r\n

\"\"<\/p>\r\n

Trips that last all or most of a day are usually scheduled during the weekend prior to the beginning of the formal scientific program. Shorter trips may take place over the weekend or during the week. Field trips may be linked with other conference events \u2013 just let us know which events should be linked.<\/p>\r\n
