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.

Luke and Sara, thank you for an exciting and altogether wonderful day. And thank you also for sharing your knowledge of tracks and sign. You are knowledgeable, skilled and superbly prepared teachers and tutors. Your early morning scouting and preparation for the day made it flow interestingly and easily. And your enthusiasm and patient explanations stoked our learn reflex.
We won’t remember every track or sign but we’ll fondly remember the day, And we’ll be better prepared to process what we see and to use your excellent materials as we poke about in our woods. And that, of course, is the point. Well done, you two.
