Field Trips > Presentation

Weather-proof clothing and adequate shoes are recommended for all field trips except “travelling through the landscapes by train”!

____________________

A choice of six different field trips is scheduled for Wednesday, 5th Sept. 2018.

Each trip will take you to a different rural part of the North Massif central area. These trips will provide a glimpse of the variety of natural environments and land use in this region and will offer an opportunity for you to exchange with local stakeholders.

One field trip and a lunch (or packed lunch) is included in the conference fee.

The field trips will start around 8:00 a.m. in Clermont-Ferrand and will end around 6.00-6.30 p.m. in Mende. The exact time table will be published on the website once registration has opened.

To secure your place on a field trip, please indicate your personal preferences when you register for the conference. Participants will be allocated to their first choice on a first-come first-served basis.
