Art of Tracking September 25, 2010

A special four hour field workshop brings you beyond the basics so that you can learn to see the landscape with new eyes. Can you tell a dog track from a coyote track? Do you know how to find and identify a squirrel hair on the forest floor? Join this weekend workshop to explore the art and science of interpreting animal signs. You will learn how to find clues in the forest that most people miss. We will find out how to answer the six questions of tracking: Who lives here? What were they doing? When did they come by? Where did they go and why were they here? How does it feel to be this animal? Get into the "mind" of the animals and learn how they feel and what their tracks can tell you about their experience. Join our team of detectives as we solve these mysteries and follow wherever our questions lead us... This is an adult themed workshop but people of all ages are welcome. We especially encourage people with an interest in tracking and wildlife to join us. Both beginners and advanced trackers will come away from this workshop with new skills and experiences!
