About the event

Tracking is an ancient skill and one that is still very useful for conservation, as well as enriching our time in nature and our understanding of wildlife. In this webinar, you'll learn how to identify some commonly encountered tracks, feeding signs, droppings and more, as well as ways that we can interpret these stories in the landscape.

Dan Puplett is a naturalist and certified wildlife tracker. He is the author of the Field Studies Council Guide to Bird Tracks and Signs and the FSC Guide to Mammal Tracks and Signs (2nd ed.)
