Learn to identify tracks, such as these left behind by a mink.
Through their daily travels, wildlife leave behind stories on the landscape. This three-part series kicks off with an evening lecture at a pub, covering the fundamentals of animal tracking. During two field days, participants will build skills reading and interpreting tracks and sign. Locations and directions will be sent to registered participants. $50 per person, suitable for ages 15 and older. Advance payment and registration required.
