Join nationally known wildlife ecologist and tracker, Susan Morse, of Keeping Track, as we learn about our region’s “wildest wildlife”, including black bear, bobcat, moose, river otter, mink and fisher. Indoor slide presentations, illustrated by Sue’s original photography, complemented by field outings, will introduce how to detect and monitor wildlife. You will learn how to read evidence left behind by various species of elusive mammals. In addition to finding and interpreting tracks, we will spend much of our time learning about and practicing science-based methods that enhance our ability to find animal sign in the first place. Susan is an acknowledged authority on various mammals’ scent-marking behaviors and she will share her original research during our field outings. Winter is a wonderful time to learn more about the animals that inhabit New England’s forests. We will visit a variety of habitats and learn from Susan why certain types of habitats are so worthy of conservation.
