Animal tracks are everywhere but how do you tell who made them? The Animal Track Literacy Project teaches you the language scientists use to describe tracks through drawing, coloring and measuring exercises. Collect data on a series of mystery tracks and then identify them yourself using a special tool called a dichotomous key. We will also study plaster casts of animal tracks collected at Jackson Bottom Wetlands and other locations. This session is designed for adults and young adults 16 years and older. Steve Engel
