Field-trips

We like to get up, and get out and about!  In the past we’ve

  • explored Mitlenatch Island and the intertidal reef off Hernando Island
  • visited the Horne Lake Caves
  • helicoptered into local high alpine country
  • learned about local wildflowers, birds,forests and  mushrooms
  • experienced the waters ,forests,and  history of Powell River
  • and many, many more!

Important things to remember?

  • dress for the day.  Wear appropriate clothing and ensure that you’re physically capable of undertaking the trip.  Bring what you need (hats, gloves, raingear, lunch, water, suitable footwear, sunglasses, sunblock, backpacks, camera, binoculars).  And be prepared to pack it all out again.
  • because our trips are intended to encourage closer human contact with nature, we enforce a strict “no pets on field-trips” rule.
  • we strive to ensure safety, but please note that all who attend our field trips do so at their own risk.
  • Field trips are member only, and all of our trips also require pre-registration. Some trips (e.g. alpine and boat trips) have  extra costs and pre-payment for these is necessary in order to reserve a seat.

So.  Ready to sign up?  Join us!
