Coyote Tracks in Snow
Tracking Predators on Averill’s Island

 

Sunday, February 9, 2020

12:30 PM to 4:30 PM

Topsfield, MA

​

What is life like for a predator in winter​? In this exploration of remote Averill’s Island we will try to find fresh tracks of a predator that we can follow through the winter forest.

 

We will begin with an indoor presentation and discussion, then head out on the sanctuary for about 3 hours, so be sure to dress warmly.

​

Snowshoes are not required, but bring them if you have them.
