Discover How To See, Intrepret and Understand The Obscure

If you would like to improve your skills or recognizing and interpreting wild animal sign that is invisible to “normal people”, we invite you to participate in the Tracking Certification North America  Wildlife Track and Sign workshops across North America. 

The TCNA  training is designed to equip you with a set of reliable field skills to identify obscure track and sign left behind our wild neighbors.  At the end of the weekend you will be able to unlock the mysteries of wild animal behavior by reading their marks on the landscape – sign that was previously invisible to you.  In other words, at the end of this weekend, you’ll be able to interpret animal sign and behavior that – to other people – are nothing more than obscure marks on the landscape. 

Who Is The Training Is For?

Whether you’re a member of a Search & Rescue team, a biologist, educator, hunter, naturalist, outdoorsman or simply a person who is curious about the natural world, you’ll find this training to be eye-opening.  No prior training is required to participate. In fact, the less you know, the more you will learn.  The value of this training lies in the deep awareness all participants gain of animal sign and behavior.

Our Classroom Is The Outdoors

The entire weekend consists of in-the-field training.  Our classroom is the outdoors.  Our teachers are the animals themselves. Our instructor will locate animal track and sign and ask us what we think made the sign.  We are then shown a different way to “see” the sign and learn how to interpret it. This simple question and answer process is repeated with different animal sign over and over throughout the weekend, enabling you to absorb the secrets of wildlife sign interpretation. The learning retention is deep and unparalleled.
