About this Event

Join us for a fun, relaxed, and interactive workshop designed to connect you more deeply to the wild animals who live in the Cascade-Siskiyou National Monument and beyond. Our evening talk will introduce animal tracking (with a focus on Track & Sign ID). We will offer tools that will increase your observational skills and help you to spot track & sign during our hike the following day.

This Hike and Learn is appropriate for both beginners to tracking and those looking to continue to brush up their skills! You never know what kind of animal signs we will stumble across!
