POLICY: LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

Ontario:

When on our Trips we are walking or driving over land located on Turtle Island, the traditional home to the First Nations people of Ontario.

At The Pipits, we acknowledge that this land is sacred, and has significant meaning to all First Nations people.

In honour of the Dish with One Spoon Wampum Covenant, we agree that we have a responsibility to protect and care for this land. Travel gently upon it.

 

POLICY: TRIPS AND EVENTS REGISTRATION

Updated: April 11 2023

Each participant needs to register for each outing they attend.

If you are registering family members from your Family Membership, please register each member separately.

To bring Guests outside of your family group, please register the individuals, and e-transfer $15 for each guest to thepipitsbirdingclub@gmail.com, or cheque at the outing.

​

If you are registering as a Single Membership, the Guest category is used for people who are not fee paying Pipit members.

If you register a Guest please pay $15 for each Guest, by etransfer to thepipitsbirdingclub@gmail.com, or cheque at the outing.

​​

If you do not pay the annual Pipit membership fee, you are registering as an Inactive Membership. Attending any outing has a $15 fee for each person attending. This can be paid by e-transfer to thepipitsbirdingclub@gmail.com, or cheque at the outing.

​​

If you are not able to register please contact Colleen at thepipitsbirdingclub@gmail.com.


COMING SOON...

Sometimes I put a list of upcoming outings here while I work in the background to develop trip descriptions... I put them here so you can plan ahead to join Pipit trips... if you don't see a list here it just means I haven't gotten any new trips planned but don't worry, I will.

​

​Please note some trips might be better done as a stay over event... such as the February Algonquin and Amherst Island trips!​​​​

​

BEFORE REGISTERING FOR AN EVENT, PLEASE REVIEW THE PIPIT'S POLICIES.

The Pipits

The goal of The Pipits is to increase awareness of the natural world, in particular, birds, but also all other wild organisms; in a safe and inclusive social setting where we connect with each other through our mutual appreciation of the wild.
