Winter Wildlife Tracking Workshop

MARCH 15 – In this workshop on tracks and other signs of wildlife, we will investigate wildlife habitat by walking around the nature trails at the VINS. We will be alert for signs of river otters, deer, foxes, coyotes, bobcats, eagles, porcupines, and many other species. Participants should be prepared for walking in snow along woodland trails that are not maintained for human foot travel in the winter.

This event is hosted by Vermont Woodlands and led by Alden Smith, Executive Director at VINS.
