ALL MINORS MUST HAVE A DNR FORM SIGN BY PARENTS OR GUARDIAN.
Participants who show up without a parent or guardian will need to have the “Minor Volunteer Registration Agreement” form filled out completely and turned in at the event. The DNR will track volunteer hours on the group time sheet, so everyone will have to fill out their name and address on the group sheet when they show up to track the hours. Download form: https://cegpics.com/Public_Land/DNR/20170408_DNR_Minor_Registration_Agreement.pdf
We need a person count for any DNR so they will set up for that many and if they have any give-a-ways. Please RSVP Clay Graham at [email protected]
NOTE: You must park in the Whites Ridge Trailhead parking area if you do not have a Discover Pass and want to attend this event.
