Have you ever come across a set of tracks in the wild and paused—wondering who passed through, what they were doing, and where they were headed next? A single print can hold a story. With a trained eye, the ground becomes a living record of movement, behavior, and relationship within the landscape.
Some conditions—like fresh snow or soft mud—make those stories easy to read. Others ask more of us, requiring patience and attention to the faintest impressions: a disturbed leaf, a broken twig, a subtle shift in pattern.
This introductory course focuses on developing a thoughtful approach to tracking, helping you learn to see what’s often overlooked and piece together the quiet narratives around you.
Join Matthew Fortin for a fun and interactive introduction to tracking. Designed for curious beginners and detail-oriented observers alike, this course invites you to slow down, ask better questions, and deepen your awareness of the natural world.
Tracking is ultimately a practice of connection—one that enriches every walk, wander, and outdoor experience. No prior experience is required.
