Animal Tracks and Traces in Winter

Have you ever wondered what animal made those tracks? Who is traveling on the trails or through your yard?  Come find out how to solve these mysteries. We’ll spend some time learning about animal tracks and even make some of our own. Then, we’ll explore Sheldrake,  looking for tracks and signs of  rabbits, deer, squirrels, and other animals. Learn what tracks can tell us about which animals are active during the winter, where they go, and how they survive.
