The animals of the forest are wary of man and use their finely tuned senses to avoid us. By spending a lot of time sitting still and watching they can be seen, but their tracks betray their secrecy and show us who has been around and what they've been doing without us having to sit still for hours at a time.

Learn to identify the common tracks in the forest on this 1-day outing. You'll learn how different animals move, what motivates them, and how to identify their tracks by size, shape, pattern and habitat. You'll also learn how to pour plaster track casts in the snow, where good places are to look for tracks and some general winter outdoor skills.

We'll be spending the day in the woods moving through several different habitats. You'll need to dress warmly, and if there is a lot of snow you should bring snowshoes in order to get around.

The course runs from 9:30 - 3:30. Bring a lunch as we'll be having a lunchtime fire in the forest.
