Discover the Art of Wildlife Tracking
“Wild lands are filled with not only encounters, but the stories left behind. Wildlife tracks and sign has remarkably broadened my experience in the woods and connected me to nature in a way I’ve never experienced. Grateful for SVC and its staff in helping develop me as a tracker!”
— Cory DeStein, wildlife photographer
