Tracking Workshop: Cats and Canines

Description

Search for tracks, scat, and other signs of the elusive wild cats and dogs that roam the fields and forests at Canoe Meadows. Focusing on long-legged creatures, we will dig deep into how they stealthily walk, lope, and gallop across the landscape and what we can learn from clues they leave behind.

Dress for the weather and enjoy a morning of winter tracking. This program covers up to a mile of trail depending on the amount of tracks we find. Terrain is level or gradually sloping. The trail surface could potentially be uneven or slippery due to snow, mud or ice. Traction spikes or snowshoes may be available to borrow on a first-come, first-served basis.
