HANCOCK -- The Keweenaw Land Trust (KLT) announces an "Animal Tracking" outing, the first in a new series of events known as KLT Outings. This event will be held from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday, Jan. 10, 2009, at the Paavola Wetlands Preserve near Hancock.
Participants will learn how to identify animal tracks and signs, large and small. Trip leader Brian Rajdl, biology teacher at Hancock High School, will teach about native-style tracking and tracking for science. He can even teach you how to tell a buck from a doe! He will also teach participants to make snow casts of tracks. Wear very warm clothes, winter boots and snowpants -- and bring snowshoes if you have them.
We will meet at the Paavola parking area. To get there from Hancock, go 1.5 miles north of Quincy Hill on U.S 41, then 0.6 miles east on No. 9 Road. The outing is free, with donations to KLT welcome. Space is limited. To reserve a place, e-mail Erik Lilleskov at elillesk@mtu.edu with the subject “Animal tracking,” and in the message list the names of the participants and any questions.
If you can't e-mail, please call 483-0104. We will contact you by e-mail or phone if there is a cancellation or a need to reschedule.
