Winter Wildlife Tracking w/ Dan Gardoqui

Workshop Description: Join Professional Tracker Dan Gardoqui and Registered Maine Guide for a morning of decoding the tracks, trails, dens, scats and other signs of local wildlife. This program runs regardless of snow cover - because there's always something to learn! We'll explore the Center for Wildlife's wooded acreage as well as adjacent public access forests and wetlands - home to fox, bobcat, porcupine, ermine, otter, and more!
