PROFESSIONAL-LEVEL WILDLIFE TRACKING AND ECOLOGY CERTIFICATION AND TRAINING.

THIS INTENSIVE, HIGHLY EDUCATIONAL PROCESS IS GLOBALLY RECOGNIZED AS AN
UNPARALLELED TOOL FOR LEARNING ABOUT LOCAL WILDLIFE AND LANDSCAPES WHILE
PRESERVING AND ADVANCING TRACKING SKILL.

THE SYSTEM IS DIVIDED INTO TWO PRIMARY COMPONENTS


Track & Sign


Learn to recognize tracks of mammals, birds, reptiles, and invertebrates on your
landscape, and to interpret animal movement and behavior. This explorative
practice reveals a hidden world of wildlife sign, and develops the ability to
find subtle evidence of animal presence. In short, this skill set facilitates
knowledge on a remarkable variety of life in an ecosystem.

Trailing


Learn to follow tracks through landscapes with the purpose of finding and
observing the animal(s) that made them—while remaining undetected. Trailing
builds knowledge of wildlife and local landscapes, confidence to follow trail in
difficult conditions,  heightened awareness and stealth, and an ability to move
quietly cross-country in small teams.
