(“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.

Birds Plus+ Recycle Art. This trip will depart Sedalia making a stop at eBbird Hotspot Rampart Road & Highway 67. We will be listening & looking for woodpeckers, sapsuckers, nuthatches & bluebirds. Back on the road we will make intermittent birding stops enroute to Cripple Creek & Victor in Teller County. Birding those towns for mountain species.
The 2nd section of this trip focuses the value of recycling for conservation and art. Thomas Dambo (Thomasdambo.com) is a Danish artist who has 16 troll art installations around the world with “Rita the Rock Planter” in Victor. The community bonded as 100 volunteers in Victor gathered and went to a hardware store in Victor where they had lots of wooden pallets that they didn’t need. So they took the pallets apart, then collected dead branches of pine trees to use for the troll's hair. The face was built from wood from Denmark. Mr. Dambo also installed “Isak Heartstone” in Breckenridge, Colorado.
This trip will travel about 220 miles. DFO shares gas cost with the number of riders so about $25. Restrooms will be infrequent.
