Wildlife Tracking at Noble View Outdoor Center

Winter unveils wildlife habits like no other season. Footprints, gait patterns, and other signs not only reveal the inhabitants of the forest, but the behaviors of wildlife we seldom see. Come learn the art of tracking and spy on wildlife foraging practices and travel corridors. AMC leader, Jim Pelletier shares tips on identification techniques and where to look for wildlife activity. Jim is an experienced tracker and naturalist who makes hiking and seeking tracks fun. This family program will run from 10:00 AM to 12:00PM. Family tracking will be followed by a story, games and cocoa with Dawne. If it is a nice day, bring lunch and enjoy the view. The adult program will run from 1:00-4:00 PM. Please indicate on registration if you prefer the Family 10:00 AM or Adult 1:00 PM program. Please indicate the first names and ages of children in your family group when you register for the family tracking hike. AMC requires all children under 18 to be accompanied by a parent or guardian for the entirety of this program. Dress in layers for cold winter conditions(hats, gloves). Please wear warm socks and proper footwear (sturdy, closed-toe shoes, waterproof hiking boots are the best choice), rain/snow gear (if forecast calls for precipitation). Avoid cotton as it does not retain warmth once damp. Hiking poles are recommended if you use them. When there is snow or ice on the trail, MICRO-spikes or snowshoes may be required. Let us know if you need some.This event has ended, but we have lots of new adventures coming up! See our activities page for upcoming activities.
