For adults and teens ages 13 and older.
Learn how to identify the tracks left behind by wild animals. The stories they leave in the snow can offer fascinating glimpses into their mysterious lives. Perhaps we’ll find signs of fox and porcupine, or the elusive and secretive fisher? This outdoor program will include an introduction to common track patterns and helpful tips for observing prints as well as the opportunity to follow tracks and sign to learn more about an animal’s behavior. We’ll explore the forested trails, stream and field edges as we search for clues to discover which animals are active in winter. Participants should be in moderate shape and the program will include some off-trail tracking. If we are open for skiing, snowshoes are required. Please call to pre-register at 800-859-2960. This is a free event, $16 with snowshoe rental.
