Description
From tracks in the snow, to scat (the scientific name for animal poop!), animals leave behind lots of clues while frolicking through the forest. But how can we tell which animal left behind these clues? To solve this mystery, we’ll need special help from animal detectives! Please join us for Sapling Story Time, where we will read Someone Walks By by Polly Carlson-Voiles. Following the story, we will do an activity to learn how to identify tracks and scat of common Vermont animals. Then we will go on a short snowshoe walk (snowshoes will be provided) to search for animal clues and use our detective skills to figure out which animal left them behind!
