X-WR-CALDESC:Every time we step outside of our door\, there are myriad stor
 ies to be told of the comings and goings of animals in the world\, and one
  of the oldest human capacities is to read and interpret these stories. Th
 e art and science of tracking offers a holistic ecological window into the
  happenings of the living world around us. \n\nIn this 3-part series\, you
  will gain a foundational introduction to the vast world of wildlife track
 ing. We will explore:\n•	The art of inquiry and engaging curiosity in the n
 atural world\n•	Basic wildlife foot physiology and morphology\n•	Clear print
  identification\n•	Concepts in behavior and wildlife sign interpretation\n•
 	How wildlife interacts with landscapes\n\nLimit of 30 participants. You ca
 n sign up for individual classes or the whole series.\nCost: $15 per class
 \, $32 (members) whole series\, $40 (non-members) whole series\nREGISTER F
 OR INDIVIDUAL CLASSES UNDER THE CALENDAR EVENT FOR THAT SPECIFIC DATE.\n\n
 Each of the session will be online and last for 75-90 minutes. We will cov
 er three core concepts of wildlife tracking:\n\nFebruary 16th - The Tracki
 ng Mindset\nThis session will introduce basic concepts of wildlife trackin
 g\, the different specific practices within the greater tracking skillset\
 , and how to get into the mind of a tracker. We will discuss some key ques
 tions a tracker should always be asking and provide a couple of frameworks
  that help you think about the landscapes we are exploring in a new way.\n
 \nMarch 16th – Foot Morphology and Track Identification\nThis session will
  dive into the world of animal foot morphology and how physiological struc
 tures tell us deeper evolutionary stories about how animals are related to
  each other\, and how they relate to their landscapes. Studying these conc
 epts ultimately gives us the tools to walk up on a set of tracks and begin
  the process of figuring out who left them.\n\nApril 20th – Sign Tracking 
 and Ecology\nIn this final session\, we will look at all the ways that ani
 mals leave “tracks” on the landscape that are not just from their feet. Si
 gn tracking involves taking a larger ecological perspective into all of th
 e ways animals go about their daily lives in the world. This practice brin
 gs us into the fuller story of the ways that animals use the landscape\, a
 nd that the landscape has shaped them.\n\nEnvironmental educators\, natura
 lists\, outdoor leaders\, or simply amateur naturalists  are who have been
  interested in reading the stories left behind on the landscape are sure t
 o find this 3-part series fun and engaging. \n\nInstructor Bio:\nMarcus is
  a naturalist\, educator\, facilitator\, and photographer. He has worked i
 n wilderness education\, outdoor leadership\, and conservation for numerou
 s organizations and communities across North America and Europe. He is eng
 aged in telling stories that bring to light and life\, the complexity of h
 umans living in the 21st century. Marcus currently lives in the Snoqualmie
  Valley in Washington State\, just east of Seattle. He is the Lead Instruc
 tor for an internationally renowned environmental leadership immersion pro

 science of wildlife tracking across the globe.
