Join Cedar Mathers-Winn for a fun day out in the snow!  Winter and its canvas of snow offer an unmatched window into the natural world -- if you know how to look. This field session will demonstrate not only how to identify the animals that have passed through an area, but also how to see their signs as a story of the landscape itself. Come prepared to be off-trail!  Note: No skis permitted in this workshop, but you can definitely bring snowshoes. We will be traveling at a slow pace, so it won't be too strenuous.  This workshop is sponsored by Gallatin Valley Earth Day in partnership with Sacajawea Audubon Society.
