Events Description
Winter is a great time to observe and appreciate the activities of wildlife, even when you don’t actually see them! Every set of tracks is like a mystery. What critter made the tracks? Where did it come from? Where was it going and what was it doing? Following and interpreting tracks in the snow is fun and can earn you new insights into the lives of Alberta’s wildlife. In this interactive winter hike, we’ll help you identify the tracks of some of our critters, together with some tips on how to interpret what you see. Then, the next time you’re out for a walk in a park or on a cross country ski, you’ll be prepared to do a little wildlife “sleuthing”.
Dress warmly in layers, bring a camera, binoculars, water bottle, and come prepared to spend the whole time outdoors exploring the Leighton Art Centre 80 acre landscape.
