We require attendees to sign up for field trips in-person. Why?

• Space is limited and we need to know you are present.

• We may need to share important trip updates with you.

• We need to ensure you have the right vehicle if a trip requires 4WD.

• We need you to sign a waiver.

• We want to meet you!

When do sign-ups open? And where?

• Friday, April 10th from 4:00PM to 5:45PM
  Sign up at the John Wesley Powell River History Museum before the opening lecture.

• Saturday, April 11th from 9:00AM to 4:00PM
  Sign up at our information booth outside the museum. A busy vendor fair will also be taking place.

• Sunday, April 12th from 9:00AM to 11:00PM
  (Please note that many field trips may be full by this point.)
  Sign up at our information booth outside the museum. No vendor fair will be occurring.

Am I guaranteed a spot on a field trip?

• No. Field trips, particularly those geared towards paleontology, fill up fast. Be prepared to have alternative choices in mind if a trip is full.

• If you are passionate about a particular trip, we recommend arriving Friday at 4pm to sign up. (Anticipate a line!)

• Our event partner, the Bureau of Land Management, limits the size of field trips to a maximum of 25 people. Some field trip leaders may allow less.

Important Notes

• All field trips are half-day to full-day trips.

• All field trips are free.

• Participants must drive their own vehicles.

• Field trip leaders will meet their group in the John Wesley Powell River History Museum parking lot, unless otherwise noted. Please be present 15 minutes before the trip departs.

• The group will caravan to field trip sites. Many trips involve driving on dirt roads. Vehicle requirements can be found in each trip description. 

• Pack plenty of water and a sack lunch, and fill your gas tank ahead of time. Wear comfortable clothing and bring sun protection.

• If you have any questions email the event organizers at info@greenriverrocks.com. Email is checked weekly.

• Staff at the John Wesley Powell River History Museum will not be able to answer any questions. The Museum does not organize the festival, they are just our gracious hosts!
