Wildlife Tracks & Traces — Edmonton Area — June 2024

Ages 18+ | June 22, 2024 | Edmonton Area

Winter or summer, spring or fall, animals leave evidence of their day-to-day lives in the tracks and other traces they leave behind. With practice and training, all of us can identify species by their tracks, general trail patterns, scats, and other clues. Whether you are full fledged biologist, a keen naturalist, or just nature curious, you are sure to benefit from time in the field with a generous teacher.

Your instructor, Joseph Litke is a Wildlife Biologist, Certified Wildlife Track & Sign Interpretation Professional, Interpretation Specialist, and Four-season Hiking Guide.

Wildlife Tracks & Traces is a full day (6+ hour) outdoor workshop in an Edmonton Area park or natural area focused on exploring nature through the lens of wildlife tracking. A meeting location will be provided via email at a time closer to the event date. Participants are responsible for their own transportation, food, drink, and field-appropriate clothing and footwear. Keep the season in mind when choosing footwear; finding tracks during snow-free periods will often require seeking out some muddy spots.

Cancelation / Refund Policy 
The workshop will go forward under most weather conditions. If the weather is just too nasty, then we will try to reschedule. If it turns out that we have to cancel the event (e.g. extreme weather, too few registrants), a full refund will be provided, less any applied processing fees.

Registrants who withdraw their registration for which we are unable to find a replacement will not be eligible for a refund.

Registrants who withdraw their registration, for which we are able to find a replacement registration will receive a refund, less 15% administration fees.
