In this class, you’ll be introduced to basic tracking skills and concepts such as clear print identification, track patterns, as well as techniques to develop your skill in tracking. This is a great class for photographers, hunters, or anyone who wishes to deepen their outdoor experience.
In this workshop we’ll use tree identification as a tool to come into a deeper relationship with our woody neighbors. We’ll work on “clarifying the brown blur” by focusing primarily on bark and twigs, while also considering other tree characteristics such as shape and context.
We will use observational drawing to explore a few of the many kinds of spirals, branching patterns, and fractals found in nature, and explore how and why they grow in these ways.
Starting with simple observational drawing strategies, we will explore animal spot and stripe patterns and examine how they are created. Moving on from pure observation, students will finish with a creative project inspired by these animal decorations.

In this seminar and field outing, we will explore the natural history of wild canids and hit the trails to find true love (fox tracks)!
