Description
(RESCHEDULED to Wed Apr 16 2:30-4:00 zoom)Wildlife is all around us but we are often not aware of their presence. We might not see the animals themselves, leading us to forget that they inhabit the same spaces we do. By becoming more attuned to the signs they leave behind—such as tracks, droppings, or markings—we can develop an awareness of their presence. Learning to recognize and interpret these signs, we can enhance our appreciation for wildlife but also foster a greater sense of connection with the natural world.
