Additional Information

River Bend Nature Center will host Twin Cities tracking expert Jonathan Poppele of the Minnesota Tracking Club for a one-day introduction to the fundamentals of animal tracking on Saturday, July 30, from 9AM to 4PM.

Course participants will learn the theory and practice of tracking as a way to be more deeply connected with the natural world. Tracking begins with finding tracks and other clues left by animals in the wild and using them deduce the identities of that wildlife; as trackers gain experience, tracking leads to a deeper understanding of the lives and behaviors of those animals.

The day begins at 9AM and concludes by 4PM with a break for lunch (please bring your own). Dress to be comfortable inside (presentations and lecture) and outside on and off the trail. You may also wish to bring a notebook and writing utensil, a small ruler (6-inch plastic rulers work well), a measuring tape, and a camera.

The program fee is $15 per person ($12 for River Bend members) and is intended for adults. Preregistration is required for this program by July 15. For more information or to register, please visit www.rbnc.org or call (507) 332-7151.
