Animal Tracks

What mammal or bird made that track? Who scratched the bark on that tree?  Ever wonder what animals live near you? Animal tracking is an enjoyable way to increase your outdoor winter awareness, discover the many creatures that inhabit nature, and learn to find and interpret tracks, along with identifying scat and other signs left behind by mammals and birds.   Join Environmental Educator Cyndi Duda for a hike at Citizens for Conservation-owned Flint Creek Savanna looking for animal tracks.

The class also includes an animal track craft to be completed inside our farmhouse.

A portion of this class is held outdoors so please dress for the weather with good winter foot gear.
