On the Trail of Predator and Prey; Winter Wildlife Tracking

Track a porcupine to its den. Follow in the footsteps of a red fox or a fisher as it winds its way through the forest.  Spend an afternoon deciphering clues left behind by a variety of Northfield's predators and prey. Learn to identify tracks and sign with Ernie Hansche, avid tracker and naturalist. Be prepared to head off trail to track mammals in their natural habitat. Participants should be in moderate shape, wear warm, waterproof footwear and dress warmly in multiple layers for both moving across the landscape and stopping to study wildlife sign. If we are open for skiing, snowshoes are required.
