Nature Lethbridge Field Trips
The following is a list of field trips and official species counts for the 2024 field trip season, developed by the Nature Lethbridge (NL) program committee!
Participants in NL outings (except species counts) will be asked to sign a Waiver and Release Form before taking part in the scheduled events. One signed form will cover the whole 2024 field trip season.
Please contact a trip leader by 8:00 pm the day before day trips so the leaders will know who is expected. Always wear suitable clothing and footwear. Bring your own lunch, sunscreen, insect repellent, rain gear, and adequate liquids to prevent dehydration. Car pooling will be encouraged.
- Special note about dogs: dogs are not welcome on NL field trips.
Reasons are:
If dogs chase wildlife, this is stressful to the wildlife.
Dogs can be a distraction for people’s enjoyment of nature.
Most people like dogs, but some don’t.
Therefore we request that you please leave your faithful companion(s) at home.
