Field day teaching animal tracking

Winter is a great time to improve the skill of identifying wild animals and their behavior by understanding the oldest writing known of the earth, animal tracking.

Residents are invited to join experienced tracker and wildlife researcher Brian Baxter as the class searches for clues and evidence in the nooks and crannies of one of the Flathead Valley’s most beautiful and rich riparian areas. Baxter has over 40 years working professionally in wildlife, forestry, and outdoor education, and has recently had an article published in the Sandpoint Magazine Winter 2019 edition entitled, “Wily Weasels of the Northwest.”

The outdoor education class is being offered on Saturday, Jan. 12, from 9 a.m. to about 2:30 p.m.

Please come prepared for the day with proper layers of winter clothing, good winter boots, snowshoes if you have them, water, lunch, binoculars and cameras. To sign up for this free class contact Brian at email: b_baxter53@yahoo.com or call him at: 406-291-2154. Space is limited so please register to find out more information on location to meet, and please plan to attend if you sign up.
