As Michael said, we just walk to wherever we're doing survey activities. You mention that you might join; another benefit of joining is that you can get on the members-only mailing list at Yahoo Groups and stay in touch about when some of us will be out there.

We are careful to abide by the guidelines of our survey - no collecting and minimal damage from turning over logs or rocks. We do get to go places off-trail. However, members (or others) who are out there without being part of a DFWHS survey outing are asked please to stay on the trails.

We are also doing a "herp walk" for the public, usually the 2nd Sunday afternoon. We walk for about an hour in an area where we can look for herps and talk about the species that live there and how they live.
