Visual animal trackers can read signs of animals on the landscape, and the art of trailing an animal takes that skill further. Trailing is the skillset that lets you find out where someone has gone or come from in a wild setting. This class will train you in the basics of seeing a moving animal in forest duff, grasses and meadows and most natural substrates.

Starting off with known human tracks, students will learn what things look like when they are stepped on. Learning to see a trail involves learning to see the small details that moving beings leave on the landscape.

Putting all the details together will give you the skills to actually find the animal, or at least follow it long enough to read its story.

The concepts of trailing come together with knowledge and practice. This class should help prepare students for Cybertracker trailing evaluations.
