The Island Field Office can be found in Ginger Island North, south of the Volcano and east of the Dig Site.

Until Professor Snail is rescued from the nearby cave, the office remains empty with no interactable elements. After the rescue, donate fossils at the office work desk or answer the Island Surveys posted on the wall to receive Golden Walnuts.
