Each chapter holds monthly meetings and sponsors field trips. Every Memorial Day, the Michigan Botanical Club sponsors a Foray to a different area of Michigan. Mark you calendar for the 2013 Spring Foray to be held at Calvin College in Grand Rapids, MI. The White Pine Chapter will be hosting the event. Field trips to prairies, bogs, sand dunes, fens, fern grottoes, woods and forests, rivers, savannas and more are planned.
