The Water Column

December Expert Series: Animal Tracking

12/16/2023

 

Saturday, December 16th
9 am - 11 am

Lareau Farm, Waitsfield

Picture
Curious about wildlife activity now that winter is upon us? Luckily, snow offers us a great canvas to see exactly who is here 🙂

Join Friends of the Mad River and Dave Muska, naturalist and educator, for a workshop on tracking and trailing wildlife.

We'll start at the shelter at Lareau Farm with a review of the signs, habitats, gaits, and tracks of species we might encounter in early winter. Next, we’ll head out on a walk in search of signs of animals. Along the way, we’ll learn about different tracking techniques and test out our newly acquired knowledge in the wild.

Since this activity is snow-dependent, we might have to reschedule to a more suitable date depending on the weather. Register below and email [email protected] with questions or if you need any accommodation.

While this event is free, you can support our work by donating here.
