You can read the full policy and terms at that time, but here is a summary of key information: Program Schedule: The program takes place from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on the following field dates: November 16, 2024 December 14, 2024 January 18, 2025 February 15, 2025 March 15, 2025 April 12, 2025 Additionally, there are two online classroom sessions hosted on Zoom on Wednesday evenings from 7 to 8:15 p.m.: December 4, 2024, and January 8, 2025. Recordings will be provided. Sunday Backup Dates: Participants are asked to reserve the Sunday of each weekend field date in case weather and tracking conditions are more favorable and a switch from Saturday is warranted. The instructor will be in touch as soon as possible (generally at least 48 hours in advance) if a switch from Saturday to Sunday is likely. Since weather conditions can change rapidly and the forecast is not always accurate, the final decision may not be made until Friday evening (or even Saturday morning, in rare cases). Examples of conditions that could cause a date switch include an active snowstorm, recent heavy snowfall, or icy driving conditions. Meeting Locations: The program will take place at various field sites within a 30-minute drive of Burlington, Vermont. Participants are ultimately responsible for arranging their own transportation to field sites, though we will facilitate carpooling when possible. Location and meeting details will be communicated to participants during the week prior to each field date. They will be determined based on recent weather, wildlife activity and snow conditions.
Booking Policies
Refund Policy: Program fees are refundable (minus a $25 administrative fee) if cancellation notice is given more than 30 days before the first program date. Cancellation notice should be given by email to trackingconnection@gmail.com. If you withdraw your registration within 30 days of the first program date (November 16, 2024), the program fee will only be refundable in the event that someone else signs up in your place. We will keep a participant waitlist but make no guarantees that we can fill your spot. Cancellation & Rescheduling: The provider reserves the right to cancel, postpone, or reschedule any part of this program for any reason. Likely reasons would be instructor illness or injury, or adverse weather conditions on both the Saturday and Sunday of a program weekend. In the event of a postponement due to instructor availability or weather conditions, we will work with participants to reschedule the field session to a new date within 3 months of the originally scheduled date. In the event that an alternative field date cannot be scheduled, participants may be offered equivalent content in the form of an online classroom session, a recording, or another format. In the case of a full program cancellation by the provider, participants will receive a full refund for any cancelled portions of the program.
