Winter Orienteering

Sunday, February 5, 2023

2:00 PM - 4:00 PM

Are you curious about the tracks you see on winter walks?  Join Naturalist Robert Ayotte for an illustrated discussion of animal tracking in Michigan.  We will focus on print patterns found in snow and learn about track stride and straddle.  We will also review some common mammal signs and scats.  If there is snow, we will add a one-hour hike on Discovery Center trails to look for tracks and other signs.  Be prepared for icy trails. 

Cost: Free for WNHA members; otherwise $2/person or $5/family.

Program limited to 35 participants. Please register in advance at 734-475-3170
