This intensive tracking study takes place 1 day per month over the course of 4 months. Learn to unlock the stories held in the tracks and trails of animals. Taken to a variety of habitats spread out through Rensselaer, Columbia and Berkshire counties, the participants will have the opportunity to see the tracks and sign of many non-human residents of this area written in the fields, forests and riparian landscapes.

Participants will come away with a good basic understanding of :

– Foot Morphology

– Body movements and locomotion

– Habitat preferences and uses

– Life cycles

– Animal behavior

– In-depth discussion on animal behavior and natural history and how the animals and their environment shape each other

– How to combine all of these to interpret the sign we find

This course offers something for most skill levels from novice to intermediate and some advanced teachings

Tracking is an excellent way to have fun in winter while getting more connected to the natural world
