Northwest Connections offers a two day introductory snow tracking workshop. Participants learn how to recognize animals by track, gait pattern, habitat selection and behavior.
“It’s education at its finest” comments previous participant Steve Kem, “highly knowledgeable instructors leading a well-designed, hands-on course that inspires students to continue their learning of the subject (even) after the course ends”.
