I further certify that I am willing to assume risks associated with any medical condition I may have. I hereby voluntarily release, forever discharge, and agree to indemnify and hold harmless EcoWisdom Forest Preserve, their partners, agents, and its volunteers from any and all claims, which are in any way connected with my participation in this activity. I agree to indemnify and hold them harmless for all such related fees and costs.
