Nature’s Clues: A workshop in Animal Tracking and Signs | Wind Cave NP
October 11 @ 9:00 am - 1:00 pm
What to Know:
Step into the wild world of nature and see it like never before! In this hands-on workshop, we’ll go on a journey of discovery as we unlock the stories animals tell through the signs they leave behind. Through observation, curiosity, and wonder we’ll learn how to navigate the natural world by using our senses to follow the clues around us.
Together, we’ll explore animal tracks, scat, physiology, and other mysterious signs to answer questions like:
- Who left this track behind?
- Was the animal hunting, exploring, or feeling nervous?
- What does the set of tracks tell us about its size, gender, or even if it’s pregnant?
- Does it have horns or antlers?
- Why is the animal in this location and how does it relate to the nearby ecosystem?
The natural world is filled with wonders and mysteries. Each sign has a unique story to share. Join us for a fun-filled adventure where we’ll uncover the hidden lives of animals and gain a deeper appreciation for the incredible world around us and the animals we share it with!
Program meets at the Wind Cave National Park Visitor Center
