COMPLETED – Winter Animal Tracking Snowshoe Trek<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Saturday, February 14, 9 a.m. to noon<\/h5>\n\n\n\n
Foy Provincial Park – <\/strong>933 Red Rock Road<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Join Ethan Huner<\/strong>, a local naturalist\/educator, PAFN member, and avid tracker who\u2019s been spreading his passion for tracking for the past 25 years. If you\u2019ve ever wondered what animal made that track, trail, or scat in snow,  this event will help you discover these answers and many more! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Adding tracking skills to your naturalist knowledge will help you gain a new awareness into the lives of animals found throughout our region, and in your own back yard! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Throughout a beautiful forest snowshoe trek, we will become more familiar with various tracks and sign and behaviours of local wildlife and learn about winter ecology in general.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Requirements<\/strong>: Participants must be equipped with the appropriate outdoor gear to stay warm and comfortable in winter weather conditions for 3 hours and be able to snowshoe off-trail in easy to moderate terrain for up to 3 kms max. We will be moving at a fairly slow pace, stopping often to look and discuss. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
