Wildlife Tracks & Sign Certifications: Easy/Moderate. Participants will spend approximately eight hours a day outdoors and walk up to 2 miles per day. Travel may include uneven or off-trail terrain under variable weather conditions, with minimal elevation gain. Participants should be prepared to spend and carry their own food, water, and extra layers. There can be a fair amount of sitting and “down-time” waiting for all participants to move through each station. Some people like to bring something to sit on or kneel on to get close to the ground to look at tracks. Snowshoes can be provided if conditions require them.

Trailing Certifications and Workshops: Can vary from Easy/Moderate to Moderate/Difficult. Participants will follow animal trails wherever the animal takes us. Sometimes this is up/down steep terrain, across creeks, through brush and over downed trees, and through wetlands. Other trails may be on gentler, more open, drier terrain. Participants will travel up to 4 miles each day, sometimes on uneven or off-trail terrain under variable weather conditions, with the potential for elevation gain. Participants should be prepared to spend approximately eight hours a day outdoors and carry their own food, water, and extra layers.

We’re happy to work with participants to explore reasonable accommodations that can make the course more accessible while preserving the character and intended experience of the program.
