Animals are always leaving stories about their lives for us to find. In this tracking workshop for adults and older teens, we will look at tracks, scat and sign for a variety of Ontario wildlife. By looking at these clues, we can piece together mysteries that bring us closer in our connection with the wild beings of the forest and shores of the Eramosa river. 

We'll be exploring the cedar forest, honing our observation skills and learning how to read tracks and trails left by our animal neighbours. Dress in layers to be outdoors. Wear comfortable, warm boots. Recommended: Bring a notebook and a measuring tape to help with track identification.

This workshop is open to nature lovers age 14 and up.
