Our “Release of Liability” form protects our organization from frivolous lawsuits, yes, but is also a reminder of the hazards and precautions to keep in mind for any outdoor activity. Participants on field trips and other outdoor events need sign it just once a year if they either give it to an NPSNM trip leader before departure, or they use their phone to take a picture of it, including their signature and date, to be shown to any field trip leader in the current year.
Our “Rules for Field Trips and Activities” are common sense measures to provide the best experience for everyone while also protecting the environment and plants we cherish from unnecessary wear and tear. Please review them and take them to heart at least once a year.
