Liability Waivers
Our events require a General Liability Waiver to be signed. MSBEC (Mount Shasta Bioregional Ecology Center) has 2 types of Waivers. If one is required it will be noted in the event description.

The General Liability and Photo Release document includes the photo/video release; however, you can specifically opt out of photo/video while still opting into releasing liability and attending the event. The Community Fire Resiliency Program waiver is specifically for the Fire Resiliency programs and it will be noted in the event description if you should read and agree to this waiver.

Please read the contents of the waiver. On your sign up form for the event there will be a checkbox to agree (or not agree) to the terms. If you agree, then please make sure the appropriate checkbox is checked. Selecting a checkbox will be a digital signature agreement to the terms in the waiver document.

Thank you for your patience with this process. It replaces the physical (paper) form that we previously asked you to sign at each event.

The PDF will open in a new tab.
