Track and Sign – CyberTracker
September 19 - September 20
Who made those footprints in the mud or that scratch on a tree? What critters are likely watching us right now as we seek to understand the clues they leave behind?
Whether you are a tracking expert or just getting started, this is or you! Join us as LES hosts this core CyberTracker certification evaluation. The CyberTracker Track and Sign Certification is an internationally applied, professional-level certification used to promote wildlife tracking and knowledge. This two-day field experience is both an assessment and a training, with an emphasis on open dialogue and real learning.
The tracks and sign of any and all species encountered in the field may be asked, whether big or small, clear or obscure, fresh or old. After participants give their answers for a set of questions, a dialogue ensues between the evaluator and participants to provide the opportunity for everyone involved to internalize field marks, wildlife behavior, and natural history.
The Tracker Certifications emphasize practical tracking and the development of reliable field skills, and are unassociated with any particular philosophy or tracking school. No prior training is required to participate.
