Aiken Audubon offers field trips to interested persons as a means to enjoy birds and nature. All participants do so in the spirit of enjoying the outing.
As a participant, I will:
- Stay with the group.
- Notify the leader (or the driver of the vehicle in which I am riding) of any plans to leave the group.
- Make sure the person who sat next to me in the car is there when we leave the area.
- Not undertake any endeavor that will endanger my health as I know it.
- Observe all applicable rules of conduct, policy, regulation and law, whether on public or private lands.
- Adhere to the ABA Birder’s Code of Ethics.
The volunteer leaders will try to take reasonable precautions to provide for the safety of the participants. In the event of an accident, any emergency care is the financial responsibility of the participant.
I understand that I am primarily responsible for my own well-being, and hold harmless Aiken Audubon Society and its volunteers from any claim that may arise, including any contraction of illness, such as COVID-19.
