FIELD TRIPS

     Here is an opportunity to explore, learn and enjoy the outdoors! Participate in a Nature Regina field trip in and around Regina. These trips are led by members, and usually are held on the weekend. Although field trips are a benefit of membership, others are welcome to attend. Rare exceptions are when the trip is marked as “members only”.

 

     There is no cost to attend, although carpooling is encouraged when possible and there may be sharing of gas costs. Unless otherwise indicated, participants meet in the parking lot of the Royal Saskatchewan Museum at the corner of Albert Street and College Avenue in Regina, and carpool from there. In some cases, meeting at the destination is possible. Outings range in length from two hours to full days depending on the location and event. We have a great cast of leaders!

 

     Field trips can be cancelled or postponed due to weather. Please check on the status of a field trip before the event on the Events page; all efforts will be made to keep the status of the event current. If you have RSVP'd to an event, you will be contacted if there are changes or cancellations. All Nature Regina events are scent-free events.

 

     To contact us with comments or suggestions, and to submit photos from field trips for use on the website or our social media, please email natureregina@gmail.com, with Field Trip Photos in the heading. (For photos: copyright watermark if desired; those submitted around 2,000 kb enlarge nicely when clicked on for viewing.)

 

     We are always looking for Field Trip leaders and volunteers. Under the direction of the Field Trip Coordinator, volunteers assist with planning and leading nature outings such as birdwatching and other ways of exploring our natural environment. There are several ways to volunteer.

 

     The Field Trip Coordinator maintains a list of, and contact with, the field trip leaders and assistants, and may offer suggestions, advice and mentoring to field trip leaders.

 

     Field Trip Leaders pick a date and a place to lead a field trip – this could be a birding spot, a great native plant spot, or any outing that might be of interest – then provide a description on our template so it can be promoted. Please consider sharing your knowledge and enthusiasm!

 

     Field Trip Assistants are an asset and can handle logistics such as introductions of the leader and participants, having participants sign in, and ensuring sightings are recorded (e.g., birds, plants or other depending on the nature of the trip). If you’re already coming on field trips this is the perfect job for you.
