Have you ever found a foot print from an animal in the mud? Maybe a feather left behind from a bird? This week we’ll be looking on ways to track animals both from looking at their tracks and learning about their behavior. After the intro, we’ll play a game where we’ll track an animal through the property at CNC. Programs led by a CNC educator are offered every week. All children under 15 must have an adult present. We'll be using specimens from our education collection and tools for exploration, then head to the woods to put into action what we learned. We suggest wearing high socks or pants, to help with preventing ticks since this program does go out on the trails. Don't forget to register all adults in attendance. Our fall series is focused on habitats, animals and the world around us here in Ithaca. Feel free to come to one program or come to all! Our programs are under a "pay-what-you-can" model. All funds raised will help our education department continue their work at the Cayuga Nature Center.
