Tracking Winter Wildlife for Beginners

Description

Dive into the fascinating world of wildlife tracking with a beginner-friendly walk through fields and forests. Search for tracks, scat, and signs of the delicate but exciting interactions between predators and their prey. With any luck, we will find signs of coyotes, foxes, deer, rabbits, and more.

Dress for the weather and enjoy a morning of winter tracking. This program covers up to a mile of trail depending on the amount of tracks we find. Terrain is level or gradually sloping. The trail surface could potentially be uneven or slippery due to snow, mud or ice. Traction spikes or snowshoes may be available to borrow on a first-come, first-served basis.

Checking registration status.
