Please check the trip details for information on meeting place and time and refer to festival maps and directions.

Please arrive 30 minutes prior to scheduled trip to ensure everyone is checked in and all trips leave on time. Anyone arriving after the field trip leader has left will not be able to participate in the event and will not be eligible for a refund. All field trips have a limited number of participants. Walk-in registration for some trips may be available on the weekend of the Festival. Walk-in registrants MUST register at the Grebe Festival headquarters: Olsen Barn, Chester, California 96020.

Most trips will be conducted rain or shine. Only unsafe weather will cancel the boat trips (high winds, thunderstorms, etc.) Please bring the following on your trip: layered clothing and clothing appropriate to weather conditions, comfortable shoes suitable to walking on uneven ground, binoculars and field guide (if you have them, some will be provided), camera, snacks, water, sun protection, hat, jacket.

The 2023 Grebe Festival will occur at the Feather River Land Trust's Olsen Barn property. Visit their link for maps and directions.

​Checking in for all tours will occur at the Olsen Barn. Kayak tour attendees will caravan to the put-in location prior to the event. Due to the unpredictable nature of grebe nesting and water levels, the location at which kayak tours will put in will be determined closer to the date of the event.

Directions to Major's Outpost for Pontoon Tours:
​From downtown Chester head west on highway 36 (driving southwest on Main Street) out of town and take a left headed south onto Highway 89. Take a left on Almanor Drive West (not Lake Almanor West Drive) and follow the Grebe Festival signs and boat signs to Major's Outpost at Plumas Pines Resort.
