Animal Tracking Classes

Every year, dozens of families come out for the Branford Land Trust’s popular Animal Tracking classes led enthusiastically by naturalists Tom Cleveland and Chris Woerner. Come learn how to recognize animal footprints and other signs of their passage through the woods during two upcoming Animal Tracking Classes from 9:30 to 11 am on January 27 and February 24 at the Lake Saltonstall Preserve. We’ll hope for snow, but it will be fun even without it!

Please wear appropriate dress and comfortable, supportive walking shoes. Bring water. Walking sticks welcome. We’ll meet at the Regional Water Authority parking lot on the north side of Hosley Avenue, down Hosley Avenue 0.3 miles from Brushy Plain Road. Expect moderate terrain, some sloping trails and inclines, rocky underfooting. Parents should be prepared to carry younger children if they get tired.

Bad Weather dates: January 28 and February 25. Watch our Facebook page for possible schedule changes. For questions please call Tom Cleveland @ 203-981-9040.
