Wildlife is everywhere, yet wildlife can be elusive. Their movements are influenced by weather, food availability, seasonal cycles, and pressures from predators and people. So even though we may not see them directly, animals leave behind “calling cards” – subtle signs revealing their presence. Footprints, trails pressed into leaf litter, scat, nibbled twigs, feathers, fur, and the remnants of meals all tell stories of where wildlife has been and what they were doing. Learning how to notice and interpret these signs provides rich insight into the natural world. But how can you start? And why take the time to look for them at all? Join NCWF Conservation Coordinator, Kara Solomon, and NCWF Tri-County Conservationists Chapter for a presentation covering the who’s, what’s, when’s, where’s, and why’s behind searching for wildlife signs. She’ll also provide a few ideas on how to elevate your tracking game, information on wildlife species and the signs they leave behind, some ethics and safety considerations, and ways you can use these practices to learn more about the wildlife in your area… and even how it can benefit your conservation efforts!
