Is there an age restriction?

We will be documenting flora and fauna so this event is probably not suitable for toddlers.  However, we understand that every family has different dynamics and if you feel your child would enjoy this activity we welcome you.

Unfortunately dogs are not allowed on our field trips unless medically necessary.  This is to protect the wildlife that we encounter on our trips.
