Please note- this event is SUNDAY!

We will be starting the new tracking club year off with learning how to make a master species list, journaling techniques, and a mock evaluation to get an idea of where everyone’s baseline is!

For November we will be focusing on the art of questioning and how that can make us better trackers, learning the secrets of the sitspot, and wandering the Lime Hollow property to see what we can find!

If the snow comes we will dive into learning about track morphology and how we can use it to help us figure out what species we are looking at. This lesson will be geared towards understanding major differences between orders of species in a simple way.

The focus of this day will be learning how animals move across the landscape and how that can tell us a detailed story about who the animal is and what it is doing. We will be going over body mechanics and gait patterns that we can see on the ground.

Subjects are subject to change based on current conditions.

Lets follow that trail! This date we will be focusing on the fundamentals on how to trail an animal across the landscape. We will focus on aging tracks, finding fresh trails, and solo vs group trailing.

Sometimes when we go off trail or wander in nature we come across bones and feathers and we want to know who they belonged to. On this day we will bring out the skulls, bones, and feathers to learn and understand what it is we are looking at and how to read the story they are telling us.

Sometimes it’s fun to just wander around the landscape and see what we can see with no true intentions. When we do find something, we will go over the fine art of casting tracks to record data and to have as a tool for future use when studying track morphology.

Topics can change based on current conditions.

This day will be about making games out of tracking by doing a scavenger hunt! While it is useful to be able to see as we wander, it is equally important to be able to predict where something will be based upon a species behavior.

We will come full circle for this club meeting and do a mock evaluation. Whether this is your first, second, or ninth club meeting this will be a great opportunity to see how much you know or how much you have learned in a fun and stress free setting. After the evaluation we will have a small celebration to mark a great year of tracking with the community!
