Due to COVID-19, all 2021 programs will be offered in a capacity that ensures compliance with physical distancing and the LRCA’s Health and Safety Policies.
Please take note of the following important points:
- There will be no formal presentation component at the LRCA Administrative Office as in prior years, as we are not able to provide adequate physical distancing in our Multi-Purpose Room. Each entire program will take place at a Conservation Area.
- The LRCA will not be providing bussing or transportation of any kind. It is the participant’s responsibility to get themselves to and from the field trip location.
- Participants will be limited to no more than 25 people per program (including staff, guides, parents, guardians and children), no exceptions.
- While every effort will be made to ensure adequate physical distancing, there may be times (such as along certain points along the trails) where this is not possible. As such, you will be required to wear a mask whenever adequate physical distancing is not possible.
- Regular hand-sanitizing is encouraged.
- By signing up for a program, you are agreeing to abide by the LRCA’s rules and safety measures, and you are agreeing to comply with any instruction from LRCA staff or expert guide.
- We appreciate your support, understanding, patience and cooperation.
