Wildlife Tracking Workshop Don't miss out!
What is that track?
Cosponsored by REI. Missed the slideshow? Want to learn the difference between an ermine and a pine marten? Join naturalist, educator, author and photographer Bruce Thompson to learn about wildlife in the winter. As someone who brings a deep sense of wonder and intimate knowlege of North American mammals, Bruce's enthusiasm and knowledge will make this a weekend not to be missed!
Learn about animals' feet and how they move, when and where they rest, what they eat, and how animals in the wild make a living in their own specific way. Indoor and field sessions focus upon wildlife adaptations, diversity, and sign types complemented by firsthand explorations of the animals' habitats on or off-trail in various uneven terrain.
The workshop will consist of a Friday evening classroom session where the basics of tracking and wildlife physiology are covered. Participants will then take this newfound knowledge and reinforce it in the field all day Saturday!
