“What is tracking?”
Saturday, May 28, 2022
9 am – 1 pm
$85 pp | Couple $150 | Family $300
Nothing in nature can move without disturbing something else. Tracking is more than just footprints on the earth. It can lead down many wonderful journeys, including to valuable resources, such as water, shelter and food sources. Tracking tells the story of nature. It tells the story of who was here, when they were here… but the rabbit hole goes deep, so prepare yourself.
*Our Classes are designed for adults. Children under 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.*
