Youth Acknowledgement of Risk

We require that every youth who participates in a Project Watershed field trip or volunteer event read this Acknowledgement of Risk form with their legal guardian. We do our utmost to make our activities engaging, safe and enjoyable, but as a non profit organization, we have legal and insurance needs that must be clearly written and fully understood by those who choose to participate in our activities.

Thank you for filling out this waiver and sharing your time with us.

The Activities

Activities will include walking in natural habitats with uneven and often wet/mucky ground (e.g. forest, beach, mudflats), playing tag, doing a science activity involving salt, water and dye, catching and examining fish with a net, planting native plants, weeding/removing invasive species, building a replica fish trap, picking up garbage, and squirting water onto a tarp to demonstrate how a watershed functions.

Risks

Known risks of participation in these activities include tripping/falling, getting wet/dirty, dehydrating, or overheating.

I AM FULLY AWARE that The Activities entail risk and I understand the description of these inherent risks is not complete and that other unknown or unanticipated inherent risks may result in injury or death. There may be other risks or social and economic losses either not known to me or not readily foreseeable at this time, and I fully accept and I assume all such risks and all responsibility for injuries, losses, cost and damages as a result of participation in The Activities attendant thereto, and thus release, and agree to indemnify and save and hold harmless Project Watershed and its directors, employees, volunteers, administrators, and members from any and all liability, responsibility and/or property damage, losses, damages, claims, demands or causes of action against them arising from or attributable to participation in this event.
