Oct 20 @ 10:30 am – 2:30 pm

Please join naturalist, Jazmen Yoder (Northwest Natura) and expert wildlife tracker, Mark Thompson for an immersive day of exploration focused on wildlife track and sign in a stunning landscape near the Nooksack River. This hands-on course is designed for nature enthusiasts, aspiring naturalists, and anyone curious about the “big picture” of our local ecosystems. We will look at tracks and signs left by local wildlife, identify the plants they’re foraging, and search for signs of wildlife-fungi foraging.
