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. \nTogether\, we’ll explore animal tracks\, scat\, physiology\, and other mysterious signs to answer questions like: \n\nWho left this track behind?\nWas the animal hunting\, exploring\, or feeling nervous?\nWhat does the set of tracks tell us about its size\, gender\, or even if it’s pregnant?\nDoes it have horns or antlers?\nWhy is the animal in this location and how does it relate to the nearby ecosystem?\n\nThe 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! \nProgram meets at the Wind Cave National Park Visitor Center \nRegistration is below.
