Learn to decipher the subtle clues that wildlife
leave behind in the form of trails, prints,
rubs, hair, smells and behaviors as they
silently creep through the woods, fields, and
wetlands. In this field-oriented class, students
will learn from an experienced wildlife
researcher on how to key into habitat to search,
discover and interpret sign such as the dance of
a red fox across a field in snow, the tail drag
of a muskrat in mud, the scat of a mink in sand,
and the track of a blue heron along the
shorelines. With degrees in both forestry and
wildlife biology, instructor Brian Baxter has
more than 40 years in the field and delivers an
informative and fun lesson that requires a
2-mile long hike of moderate intensity.
