Cascades Wildlife Tracking Certification Class
2021-06-12 - 2021-06-13
Cascades Wildlife Tracking Certification Class with David Moskowitz
Location: Wenatchee River Institute
Date and Time: 6/12-6/13 9am-4pm
Spend two full days in the greater Leavenworth area, with professional wildlife tracker, naturalist, educator and author, David Moskowitz. This class is a wildlife track and sign certification class through CyberTracker North America. David’s approach to this class is highly interactive, engaging participants in identification and interpretation of tracks and signs. Lots of time for questions and discussion is built in. This style is an excellent way to learn and investigate, with the chance to achieve a wildlife tracking certificate through Cybertracker Conservation. Certificates are awarded on three levels. You will not want to miss this opportunity!
Cybertracker classes provide an opportunity for quality, focused learning from some of the best trackers in the country. They are designed to further participant’s tracking knowledge, as well as to rigorously test and document their current tracking skill set. Originally designed to help African Bushmen gain employment on game preserves, they also provide an internationally recognized certification of tracking ability, an important credential for wildlife researchers and environmental educators as well as for people who want to test and push their own ability. Evaluations are entirely field based, striving to expose participants to the widest range of tracks and signs as possible. Discussions are encouraged, giving participants a chance to air their thoughts and receive individualized instruction.
Cost: $290 members, $330 non-members
Food and lodging not included. Limit of 10 participants!
