Have you ever seen animal tracks cutting their way through a snowy forest and wondered who made them? Would you like to enliven your experiences in the forest by sharpening your perception? Join us with local naturalist Cesi Marseglia at Fare-Thee-Well Wholeness Center in Huntington on Saturday, February 12th from 1-2:30 pm for an animal tracking program for adults and kids ages 12+!
We will be discussing habitat identification and best approaches for beginner trackers, including how to keep your own tracking journal. We will also learn how to identify animals using tracks and sign, and how to discern animals’ movements, foot structures, genders, and even diets!
Instructions and Accessibility
During this program, we will walk between 0.5 and 2 miles, depending on the tracks we find and participant interest and ability. We’ll be sticking together, and moving as slowly as the slowest person in the group. This program is about observing, not rushing. We’ll be walking on hilly, snowy terrain, over a combination of single-track woodland trails, open fields, and off-trail woods, also depending on tracks and participant interest and ability. The terrain is not wheelchair accessible. Additional information about bathrooms on site will be included in the confirmation email.
Snowshoes are available to borrow during the event if you don’t have some of your own! Please dress in warm layers and bring your own water and snacks.
Pricing*: $5 (HLT member**) / $10 per person
