Course
Spring Wildlife Tracking
Course Overview
From foxes to flying squirrels, the north woods is home to an incredible diversity of wildlife, some of them familiar from our backyards, and some of them mysterious and rarely seen. In this class we will cover the basics of track identification and animal behavior, learn to read signs that animals leave, and in general seek a greater understanding of the wildlife that surrounds us. We will start the morning in the classroom looking at slides and building a framework for tracking, and spend the rest of the day out in the field looking at tracks and signs. This class is suitable for both the beginner and the advanced student of tracking. Students should be able to hike a few miles on uneven ground.
