Animal Tracking
Sunday, December 6, 2015 - 1:00pm to 4:00pm
Jackson Bottom Wetlands Preserve
Park/Trail:
Dog or cat? Rodent or weasel? Deer, elk or moose? Is that a bear? Correctly identifying animal tracks depends on keen observation and a basic understanding of the track characteristics for each animal group. In this class we use plaster casts, drawings, stencils and time in the field to learn how to identify the footprints of the common mammals of North America.
