Tracking Winter Wildlife for Beginners with Mass Audubon

December 17 @ 10:00 am - 11:30 am

Dive into the fascinating world of wildlife tracking with a beginner-friendly walk through fields and forests. Search for tracks, scat, and signs of the delicate but exciting interactions between predators and their prey. With any luck, we will find signs of coyotes, foxes, deer, rabbits, and more.

  • Meet in the parking lot of The Mount near the Ticket Booth.
  • This program covers up to one mile of trail depending on the amount of tracks we find. Terrain is level or gradually sloping. The trail surface could potentially be uneven or slippery due to snow, mud or ice. Traction spikes or snowshoes may be available to borrow on a first-come, first-served basis.
  • Dress for the weather and enjoy a morning of winter tracking.
  • No public restrooms are available at The Mount at this time of year, so plan your trip accordingly.
  • Your guide will email you about 24 hours in advance of your program with any updates about your program, such as trail conditions.
  • Pre-registration is required through Mass Audubon’s website.
