These policies explain how Field & Forest Academy's site and purchases are intended to work. They are written in plain language for visitors and purchasers and are not legal advice.
Adult judgment and supervision
Adults are responsible for deciding whether an activity is appropriate for each learner, location, season, weather condition, and level of experience. Young people should be supervised as appropriate for the activity and setting. Use your own judgment before, during, and after each activity.
Local conditions and rules
Trails, parks, yards, gardens, farms, shorelines, and other outdoor places all have changing conditions and their own rules. Check weather, access, hazards, closures, landowner or site permissions, and local regulations before you go. Follow posted guidance and leave places with care.
No safety guarantee
Outdoor activities involve risks that cannot be fully predicted or removed. Field & Forest Academy does not guarantee the safety of any activity, location, tool, plant, animal, or suggestion in its materials. You are responsible for selecting activities, equipment, and locations that are suitable for your group.
Not professional guidance
These materials are for educational inspiration and are not medical, emergency, veterinary, wildlife-handling, plant-identification, edible-foraging, allergy, or other professional guidance. Seek qualified local or professional help when you need it, and do not rely on the materials to make decisions about health, animals, food, emergencies, or hazardous conditions.
Use with care
By choosing to use Field & Forest Academy materials, adults accept responsibility for their own planning and supervision. For the related site and purchase rules, see the Terms of Use. Questions about a curriculum purchase can be sent through the contact page.
