Alderleaf Wilderness College 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 weekend will begin with a Friday evening slide show followed by field days on Saturday and Sunday. The weekend will be spent discovering tracks and sign through Sue's "search imaging" techniques.

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