Learn to identify tracks, such as these left behind by a mink.
Wild animals are all around, but where are they? Learn how to see and read the hidden stories etched into the landscape. A free evening workshop on April 5, followed by a series of two field outings April 22 and May 13, will awaken your ability to find and interpret tracks and signs. You can register and attend just the free workshop, both of the field classes, or the workshop and both field classes.

Pets policy: To protect plants, wildlife and people, Metro does not allow pets at most regional parks and natural areas. Pets can damage sensitive habitat and threaten wildlife the region has worked to protect. In natural areas where dogs are not allowed, people see more wildlife and get closer to it. Seeing-eye dogs or other service animals are allowed. Please bring cleanup materials.
