Wildlife Tracking and Trailing with Stephen Kraska of Eco Acres

Join Stephen Kraska of Eco Acres for an educational walk through the woods as we explore the variety of wildlife in our area through their tracks and trails. We begin with a brief overview of the identifying characteristics of tracks and trails, discussing terms, tactics, and what to look for. As we travel through the woods, meadows and wetlands, we will take time to analyze specific locations to better understand the interconnected wildlife trail systems. 

Participants will learn how to identify different wildlife tracks and trails, and gain insight into the stories they tell. As we move on the land, participants will get into the animal mindset and use their experience to inform their understanding of animal movement, and how that influences the tracks the animals leave behind. Finally, there will be time to put new knowledge to work as you find and identify tracks and trails with your guide.
