Search for tracks, scat, and other signs of our elusive wild cats and dogs that roam the fields and forests at Canoe Meadows. Focusing on long-legged creatures, we will dig deep into how they stealthily walk, lope, and gallop across the landscape and what we can learn from clues they leave behind.

REGISTRATION REQUIRED. No “walk-in” participants may attend. All participants are asked to follow and maintain six feet of distance and wear a face covering unless unable to do so due to medical conditions. Dress for the weather and prepare for uneven terrain. Snowshoes or other traction assistance may be required depending on conditions.
