Wildlife Tracks and Sign
One-Day Class
2024 - 2025 Winter Dates
Spend a day honing your senses to the subtle signs left by wildlife on the landscape.
Cost: $100 per person
Snowshoes and travel around the valley provided
Start with an informational lecture and overview of techniques, then head out into the field putting those techniques into practice. You’ll become familiar with gait patterns and how to measure the stride (length) and straddle (width) between tracks, you’ll learn of signs, other than tracks, to be on the lookout for, and you’ll gain knowledge of some of the common behaviors of our wild neighbors. Enrich your future walks through the woods and deepen your connection to the natural world around you.
These dates don't work for you? Reach out to Sara Lamar to organize a custom tracking day!

Whether you are already familiar with tracks and sign, or just beginning to learn, this class will enrich your journey beyond measure. Learning in a group setting with the highly experienced staff at SVC is way more fun and educational than trying to figure it all out by yourself - and I'm saying this as someone who usually prefers to be alone! I wouldn't hesitate to sign up again.
