For foresters, land managers, and other natural resources professionals, the ability to recognize and interpret wildlife tracks and sign is a powerful tool. It can reveal which species are present on a property, how they are using different habitats, and how they are responding to management activities such as timber harvests, habitat restoration, or trail development. This information can strengthen management plans, support landowner communications, and help evaluate conservation outcomes.
Join Extension wildlife biologists Haley Andreozzi and Emma Tutein and wildlife track and sign specialist Daniel Hansche of Spur Wander and Tracker Certification for a full day in the field. Together, we’ll explore forests, fields, and wetlands in search of tracks, scat, browse, and other wildlife sign. You’ll learn techniques for accurately identifying sign, interpreting animal behavior, and applying this knowledge to your professional work.
This workshop is entirely outdoors—please dress for the weather, wear sturdy footwear, and bring lunch and water for the day. Participants should be able and prepared to walk on uneven terrain, sometimes off-trail.
