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

Each participant needs to register for each outing they attend.

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!

Point Pelee PP, 1118 Point Pelee Dr, Municipality Of Leamington, ON N8H 3V4, Canada
Point Pelee during Spring Migration is an experience not to be missed! Birds fly long distances, over the huge body of lake water, and arrive exhausted at Point Pelee to rest and feed before continuing their journey to their northern breeding grounds. It can be absolutely overwhelming. Come see!
