Scat, Tracks and Signs

Scats, Tracks, and Signs

Refuge Rocks Free Program for Kids: Scat, Tracks and Signs – Hagerman NWR

The wild animals at Hagerman National Wildlife Refuge are rarely seen. So, how do we know they live here? On Saturday, February 15, come out to the refuge to develop your tracking skills by examining and interpreting the indirect evidence animals leave behind. We will be exploring scat and tracks. We’ll learn how to get started identifying tracks, scat, and other animal signs when hiking on our trails. We’d love to see what you find while exploring the outdoors today! Studying what an animal leaves behind is a great way to learn about the lifestyle and habits of local wildlife

Let’s learn about scat, tracks, and signs with a short lesson, some fun games and activities, as well as a fun craft! Come join us on February 15 for a free class for youth ages 5-10.
