As part of your registration, in order to participate in a Denver Field Ornithologists, Inc. (“DFO”) trip or other activities designated by the Board of Directors, each adult participant and the parent of a minor participant (those under 18 yrs. of age) are required to review and sign (either electronically or manually) a DFO Acknowledgment and Assumption of Risks & Release and Indemnity Agreement (sometimes “Agreement”) Completing this document involves your acceptance of binding contract terms. This online registration system allows you to review and electronically sign the Agreement if you do not have one on file. If you would prefer to manually sign a printable version of the Agreement, you may access it here, and present it to the leader before trip start. If you choose this option, please contact your leader to assure you are signed up for the trip.
Please note: Each person, including each family member choosing to sign the Agreement electronically must login and have a separate account so that the agreement is tied to the individual. If you are having difficulty with multiple logins, please contact us for assistance. *Minors: If participant is a minor, the minor’s parent or legal guardian must print out, review and sign a paper copy of the Agreement and present it to the leader before the trip start. Any minor attending must be accompanied by their parent or legal guardian.
Logged in users who have a signed Agreement on file will have the opportunity to print or save it at any time. Click on the link to the printable copy and use your browser functions to save or print.

Directions
Sandstone Ranch is accessed from Hwy 105/Perry Park Rd, which begins just west of Sedalia. Drive 16 miles south on Hwy 105 to 8309 S Perry Park Rd., Larkspur, CO, (just south of the Perry Park Ranch and County Club entrance at Red Rock Drive). Proceed through a raised county gate and follow the gravel road south 1.3 miles into Sandstone Ranch. Continue past a set of ranch buildings to park on the grass near a guest house. Signage will indicate a Sandstone Event off Hwy. 105 and guide cars to the parking area. Google maps will only give you an accurate location with the Lat/Long (39.2241817, -104.9581687) or by typing in Sandstone Ranch.
After meeting the leaders at the parking area expect to caravan further onto the ranch for a number of stops and then moderate walking.
This trip is limited to the first 18 registrations.
Sandstone Ranch is a new Douglas County Open Space of over 2000 acres that is not open to the public yet. Harriet Stratton (Co-Leader) and several other volunteers have been doing nature studies for the open space managers. Harriet has received permission to have a guided access field trip for DFO to this pristine new open space. This initial trip will be for DFO Field Trip Leaders and Harriet’s naturalists. Sandstone offers the visitor a beautiful vista: red rock formations, prairie, a variety of woodlands, and two riparian areas, Gove and West Plum Creek. Historic ranch buildings are of interest as well. Bring binoculars, walking sticks and a sack lunch. We will drive to and walk throughout at number of habitats for 1-3 miles of walking. Register online or contact the leader.
