Field Trip Information

Field Trips, held throughout the year, sample a variety of habitats in Southwestern BC.  Our field trips provide hands on experience and the sharing of knowledge as we explore wild flower meadows, forested trails, wetlands and nature reserves. 

Dress for the weather, bring plenty of water, snacks and food.  Wear sturdy foot wear. Members and non-members must sign our liability waiver, have their own transportation and confirm attendance prior to trip. In addition guests must submit the day member form as available below.

TO ATTEND AS A GUEST

Guests (non Nature Chilliwack members)  need to fill out a Day Member Form and Waiver and pay a $1.00 fee to help defray BC Nature insurance costs. You can print and complete the form to present to the field trip leader at the meeting place. Printed forms will also be available at the trip meeting place from the leader.
