Tracks, tail drags, scat, and fur tufts are just a few ways that you can identify your fellow furry hikers. Join Wildlife Technician Jessica Coulter on a hike through Amy’s Park to discover the secret signs that animals leave behind and learn about the natural history of the Adirondack Park. All skills levels are welcome. Tracking guides and field notebooks recommended.
