December 5-7
Tracking is the art of seeing, the art of observation. It is a skill that requires your attention and focus in the moment, like that of a wild animal who is present, alive, and immersed in its senses, seeking information about its environment from its entire body. Tracking engages our whole being, enables us to touch that wild within, and is the best way to learn about an animal, short of observing it in its natural habitat undisturbed by our presence. Discover which animals inhabit an area by investigating vegetation for signs of browsing, scat, tracks, and other traces of animal activity. This workshop is limited to 15 people and fills quickly, so sign up now.
Paul Rezendes wrote the excellent Tracking and the Art of Seeing: How to Read Animal Tracks and Sign and The Wild Within. With his wife and partner, Paulette Roy, he co-wrote Wetlands: The Web of Life. Paul is a naturalist and internationally published photographer (his beautiful photographs grace his books), and his 30 years of experience make him one of the leading trackers in the country. His love of nature, unique teaching style, sense of humor, and keen observation will change the way you see the natural world.
