Field Trips and Activities


The Maryland Geological Society is an advocate of responsible collecting. The society has permission to collect in all of the sites it visits that require such permission. Most trips are weather dependent and some require at least an average level of physical fitness. Field trips are restricted to MGS members only.

The Acting Field Trip Chairman is Rick Smith who can be contacted at (410) 247-3961 or via email at rick.smith.mgs@gmail.com



Below is a list of upcoming field trips open to MGS members:
