Join CLC to learn more about winter tracking with Dan Yacobellis of Tamakoce Wilderness Programs for a guided exploration of the Taghkanic Community Forest. The specific land we’ll be trekking is considered a “pinch point,” meaning that animals searching for undisturbed land often travel through this area. In the past, signs of bears, otters, and bobcats have been found here!
What’s involved: We will walk up to two miles on forested trails, stopping often to see animal signs along the trail. We may be stationary for extended periods, so please dress accordingly and bring additional warm layers. The program will take place at Taghkanic Community Forest, with the program address and directions sent to participants following registration.
What to bring: Water, weather-appropriate clothing and footwear, and a way to take notes (i.e. camera, smartphone, or a journal).
What not to bring: Please, no dogs.
Please choose the sliding scale registration option that works best for you! If the registration rates pose a barrier to your participation, please contact
