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\n\nEach of 
 the session will be online and last for 75-90 minutes. We will cover three
  core concepts of wildlife tracking:\n\nFebruary 16th - The Tracking Minds
 et\nThis session will introduce basic concepts of wildlife tracking\, the 
 different specific practices within the greater tracking skillset\, and ho
 w to get into the mind of a tracker. We will discuss some key questions a 
 tracker should always be asking and provide a couple of frameworks that he
 lp you think about the landscapes we are exploring in a new way.\n\nMarch 
 16th – Foot Morphology and Track Identification\nThis session will dive in
 to the world of animal foot morphology and how physiological structures te
 ll us deeper evolutionary stories about how animals are related to each ot
 her\, and how they relate to their landscapes. Studying these concepts ult
 imately gives us the tools to walk up on a set of tracks and begin the pro
 cess of figuring out who left them.\n\nApril 20th – Sign Tracking and Ecol
 ogy\nIn this final session\, we will look at all the ways that animals lea
 ve “tracks” on the landscape that are not just from their feet. Sign track
 ing involves taking a larger ecological perspective into all of the ways a
 nimals go about their daily lives in the world. This practice brings us in
 to the fuller story of the ways that animals use the landscape\, and that 
 the landscape has shaped them.\n\nEnvironmental educators\, naturalists\, 
 outdoor leaders\, or simply amateur naturalists  are who have been interes
 ted in reading the stories left behind on the landscape are sure to find t
 his 3-part series fun and engaging. \n\nInstructor Bio:\nMarcus is a natur
 alist\, educator\, facilitator\, and photographer. He has worked in wilder
