The Point Reyes Tracking School was founded in 2010 by Richard Vacha. We are located in Point Reyes Station, California at the doorstep of one of the world’s finest national parks, The Point Reyes National Seashore. We are blessed with spectacular natural beauty, diverse habitats, abundant wildlife, and excellent tracking opportunities.

OUR MISSION

• to further the ancient art of animal tracking and nature awareness
• to teach tracking and related skills as a part of bringing humanity back into healthy balance with the earth
• to promote the development of the personal integrity and self-reliance that nature involvement readily offers us

We host a wide range of programs for beginning and advanced trackers alike.
