We can design a program to suit your particular audience and interest,
from easy one-hour walks to all-day excursions,

| Our goal is to share the excitement and wonder we experience in the natural world and to enrich your ecological knowledge. From experience comes knowledge; from knowledge, understanding; from understanding, appreciation.The programs are designed to provide participants with wide and deep opportunities for nature exploration and cultivation of mindfulness - an appreciation for the connection between all creatures, great and small. |
"Ultimately, tracking an animal makes us sensitive to it-- a bond is formed,an intimacy develops.
We begin to realize that what is happening to the animals and to the planet is actually happening to us. We are all one.
Tracking and reading sign help us to learn not only about the animals that walk in the forest -- what they are doing and where they are going -- but also about ourselves.
For me, this interconnection is survival knowledge and the true value of tracking an animal."
- Paul Rezendes, Tracking and the Art of Seeing
