During the weather-friendly months of each year the NHMC organizes
mineral and fossll collecting field trips in Connecticut and occasionally in
neighboring states as well.
These trips generally
involve obtaining access permission from private landowners,
businesses, or state / local government agencies.
All land-owners are concerned about liability-insurance risks, and about keeping their property clean.
Participation in all NHMC Field Trips requires compliance with the following
requirements:
- Club Membership is a requirement to attend Club Sponsored Field Trips.
Some events may be limited to Only Members of the New Haven Mineral Club, or
Host Club
- All participants are required to act in accordance with the EFMLS Code of Ethics.
- All participants are required to respect any specific conditions and
restrictions imposed by each specific land-owner. or Field Tri p Host.

To prevent spending the
summer in a plaster cast of some sort, all of us will benefit by
following some basic rules.
Properly prepared equipment will make
each excursion more enjoyable. Be sure you have permission to collect
at
any site. Never collect near
vertical walls, overhangs, edges of cliffs, unstable shelves, or any
other dangerous
areas, whether posted or not. Be aware of those above
and below you, to avoid accidents from falling rocks. Leave
each site as you found it. Gates
should be left open or closed according to how they were found, unless
otherwise
directed. Litter and garbage should be removed. Check that
you have all tools you brought along. Safety goggles or
glasses, and a hard hat
should be worn for personal safety. Sturdy gloves provide protection
from sharp-edged
rocks. Wear suitable clothing, and footwear. Insect repellent is needed for collecting
in some areas, and a first-aid kit
is essential on all field trips. Hot weather, a heavy bucket and
pack can lead to trouble. Avoid
overheating, and bring
plenty of water. Please have
an enjoyable, and safe Field
Trip Season. From the field:
