Pelagic Trip Tix still Available


2. WildResearch's 2017 Pelagic Seabird Birding Fundraiser is THIS WEEKEND - Sunday, May 7


WildResearch's Spring 2017 Pelagic Trip Fundraiser will run on Sunday May 7, coinciding with the Tofino Shorebird Festival! Spots are filling up, so be sure to book your spot soon! For details about the trip and for information on how our current annual members can book for the trip, please see the information below.



Itinerary:
WildResearch's upcoming pelagic trip will follow the same itinerary as our previous pelagic trips; the ship we charter (M.V. Frances Barkley) will leave from the dock in Ucluelet BC at 7 am on Sunday May 7, 2017, travel to La Perouse Bank, and return to Ucluelet at 2:30pm (on the same day). WildResearch's pelagic trips are a fantastic opportunity to view pelagic seabird species rarely seen from shore. Click
 here for previous trip details and photos. In addition to our trip, there will also be a lot of exciting events happening in the area that weekend as part of the 20th annual Tofino Shorebird Festival, which will take place May 5th to 7th.

Cost:

The early bird ticket rates are no longer available, but tickets can still be purchased at full price ($275). In addition to purchasing a ticket, all trip participants will be required to hold a current WildResearch membership at the time of the pelagic trip. For more details, see membership information. Proceeds generated from the pelagic trip fundraiser will go toward running WildResearch’s conservation research programs.

How to book:
Space on the boat is limited! Please follow these instructions:

If your membership is active until May 7, 2017:
  1. Purchase your ticket using the "Current Members"  PayPal link available here
If your membership expires before May 7, 2017:
  1. Purchase your ticket and pay for your membership renewal ($25 students,$30 general) in one payment using the "non-members/membership renewal"  PayPal link available here.
  2. Log in to your WildResearch Better Impact account to update your annual membership renewal details **Note: all WildResearch members have an existing username and password. Please make sure you sign in on the right side of the page under the text "I already have a username". If you do not remember your login information, use the reset password page link at the bottom of the page to retrieve it**
Rather pay by cheque? Please mail your completed annual membership renewal details, enclosed with a cheque made payable to WildResearch (#11-220 Tenth Street, New Westminster BC, V3M 3X9). All members must complete these membership details annually.

Not sure when your membership expires? Check your membership expiry date in your 
Better Impact profile under “About You” or email pelagics@wildresearch.ca.

Booking requests shall be considered in their order of receipt. Once your payment has been received, you will be sent a receipt confirming payment and confirmation of your place(s) on the trip. If you are paying for more than one person, be sure to include a signed membership form and liability waiver form for each person (if completing these online, this means you will need to have two separate Better Impact profiles, one for each person).

We are very excited about the spring pelagic trip! Looking forward to the great birding and an opportunity to meet with old friends, and make new ones. If you have any questions about the pelagic trip email us at: 
pelagics@wildresearch.ca.

Sincerely,
