Description
Do you want to learn more about nature? Have you ever wondered whose footprint that is? Would you like to know who has been munching on those nuts or pine cones? Then this is the course for you. On this new Introduction to Wildlife Identification and Tracking course we will explore tracks, feathers, skulls & bones, scat, homes & resting places, kill sites, feeding signs, owl pellets and more! This course is aimed at anyone interested in wildlife and conservation. Whether you are a keen amateur or developing a career in the Environment / Outdoor Education sector this course is for you. We will put out some footprint tunnels the night before, and Longworth small mammal traps. We will also make footprint casts. What we find and discuss will vary on each course depending on the season, weather and what we discover.
