Field Trips to a Beach or Forest
Having field trips to a beach or forest are a wonderful way to connect with nature. If your school or group is planning on having a field trip to a beach or forest in one of our CRD regional parks, you must fill out the online form below.
With thousands of people visiting our regional parks in the spring, we need your help to minimise the environmental impact. Providing us with this information ahead of time ensures appropriate numbers of people are visiting the park at any given date or time.
Once the request has been received, the date will be added to the schedule. You may be asked to pick another date if the park has reached its capacity on your requested date.
Whether joining for a school program or field trip to CRD regional parks, exploring with respect is paramount. For countless generations, the Indigenous Peoples of this area have been caretakers of these ancestral lands guided by the belief that all things are interconnected and should be respected. From crabs to cougars, they believe that unless we have a purpose, like hunting, gathering or fishing, we do not have the right to disturb animals in their natural habitats.
As you plan your visit, we encourage you to emulate this belief by acknowledging that regional parks protect and restore biodiversity while inspiring connection with the natural world. Here are some tips for visiting respectfully:
- pack it in and pack it out
- use buckets for sandcastles, not collecting crabs
- leave nets at home or the school
- observe crabs and other animals by Lifting rocks, Looking with your eyes, and
Lowering back down - do not pick up, handle, or disturb wildlife, including crabs
- leave the digging to other animals and leave wildlife like clams under the sand
- stay on trails in the forest
- leave only footprints and take only memories.
