Event Overview

Dung, droppings, scat, frass.

Examining poop is just one of the ways we can track animals. This Dabble class shows you many ways to sleuth out wildlife in the great outdoors of a forest... or the little outdoors of your backyard.

If you were ever wondering what critters made those tracks in your yard or who scratched up that tree on a path in the woods, this family friendly workshop is for you. We'll be scouting out some of the native Chicago wildlife, learn about their behaviors, the various habitats they occupy, and how to properly identify them by what they leave behind.

Walk away from class armed with a new-found ability to name that critter (even when it's not there) and guides to specific area wildlife tracking techniques.

Minimum age

All ages welcome
