Tracking Winter Wildlife at The Mount

Description

Join a Mass Audubon naturalist for an introduction to the world of wildlife tracking. We will walk through fields and forests searching for tracks, scat, and signs of the delicate but exciting interactions between predators and their prey. With any luck, we will find signs of coyotes, foxes, deer, and rabbits.

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.
