*We recognize that not all our class prices are accessible for our whole community, and this system allows folks to choose how much they pay for a class. Using a sliding scale helps us work toward our belief in economic justice and accessibility of folk education. More information on sliding scale classes can be found here.

In this series of outdoor classes we study the stories told by animal tracks in the snow. Learn to recognize the tracks and track patterns of your wild neighbors and gain insight into their lives. All you need is curiosity and appropriate clothing. This class takes place over multiple weeks. You can choose to sign up for one class or multiple.
