Each class can stand alone and emphasizes a specific, season related, aspect of tracking, and since the course is cyclical, like the seasons, it can be started at any point.
Though students are welcome to attend single classes, we encourage you to register for the whole Core Course, in order to get a complete grounding in the world of animal tracking.
 
Rate: $60 per class and we offer a 10% discount when you register for the whole course. 
Note: Beginning July 2020, the rate will increase to $75 per class.
