A club for people interested in collecting and learning about the science of minerals. 

Field Trips

The club conducts field trips for members. We research the collecting sites and often have advance scouting trips where specialists in the Club travel to mineral locations to check and refresh. Trips will be posted on the events calendar and are only available to WMC members. Attendees must follow the Code of Ethics below and comply with the rules laid out by the field trip leader. Advance registration is required.

The members' area includes planned field trips in the Member Events.
