Alderleaf is honored to be hosting distinguished tracker and wildlife photographer Susan Morse for a carnivore tracking workshop in the Cascade Mountains. Susan has over thirty years of experience interpreting wildlife habitat uses, with a specialty in black bear, cougar, bobcat, and Canada lynx.

The workshop begins Saturday morning, includes Susan's Saturday evening slide show and continues through Sunday afternoon. The weekend will be spent discovering tracks and sign, focusing on carnivore scent marking behaviors and kill-site carcass analysis.

You will learn how to apply scientific knowledge about the habits and habitats of various carnivores and predict where to look for sign. In the field we'll practice "search imaging" as well as Keeping Track 's scientific documentation methods for photographing tracks and sign. This will be a great opportunity to add to your journals and photographic records.
