Join Wilderness Awareness School for an incredible weeklong tracking expedition in North Eastern Washington. We will be looking for track and sign of some of the largest mammals of North America including: wolves, black bears, cougars, moose, and elk. To study these large animals we will need to look at the landscape from an ecological viewpoint. By no means will we be discriminatory against the little guys; while our focus will be on larger mammals, we will track by opportunity!
