Volcan Mountain Foundation

If you have wanted to learn about wildlife tracking and get lots of practical field experience, this class is for you!  As the Volcan Mountain Foundation is also working to establish a team of trained trackers that can eventually participate in wildlife surveys, this would be a great way to help learn more about and protect the wildlife on and around Volcan Mountain.

The San Diego Tracking Team’s (SDTT) Tracker/Naturalist series of classes provides you with information and skills to identify tracks, scat, and other signs from wildlife that inhabit our local nature preserves.  Classes involve one weekday evening of classroom instruction and one Saturday in the field for “dirt time” instruction.

The Beginning class topics include: levels of tracking, the six arts of tracking, sensory awareness, journaling, the process of track identification, common species encountered locally, and introduction to gaits.

The next beginning class will be held Wed, September 17, from 7pm – 9pm, at the Los Peñasquitos Ranch House (map) (12020 Black Mountain Road, San Diego, CA 92129). The field session for this class is Saturday, September 20, 8 am – 4 pm.  Cost: $50 ($10 discount for SDTT members).
