Join experienced tracker Josh Wood (Flying Deer Nature Center) as we explore habitats within the Arboretum to find animal tracks and clues that reveal a wealth of information about local wildlife. Josh will teach us to identify animals by their tracks, recognize scat and other animal signs, and recognize animal gaits and patterns. All are welcome—beginners and experienced trackers alike! (Dress in warm layers and be sure to wear proper footwear).

Trees take on a different life in winter. With the leaves gone from the deciduous trees, their forms contrast crisply against the winter landscape. Evergreens now shine in the winter sun. Without leaves we must look closely at distinguishing factors such as buds and bark. Join Botanist Richard Ring for an indepth look at Winter Tree Identification. Dress warmly, bring a notebook and camera.
