Class Description

Tracking is a unique way of connecting with wildlife and nature. By using a multitude of Awareness Skills, a tracker is like a detective that asks questions and looks for the clues. Tracking is a skill that dates back to early hunter-gatherers but it is still used today by naturalists and field biologists to study animals. Tracking is not only looking at footprints that were left on the earth but all the other signs, too. It is linked so closely to Awareness Skills that both will be integrated into this class. Lecture and field work will all be included in the day workshop.

Learn how to make, set up and manage a Figure 4 trap. A knife is MANDATORY, and a sharp fixed blade (non-folding) knife is best. You can purchase a Swiss Mora knife from us if needed
