Discover How To See, Interpret and Understand The Obscure
If you would like to develop the skills to recognize and interpret wild animal sign that is invisible to “normal people”, we invite you to participate in the Tracking Certification North America (TCNA) Wildlife Track and Sign workshops across North America.
The TCNA training is designed to equip you with reliable field skills to identify obscure track and sign left behind our wild neighbors. Participation in a TCNA workshop/certification equips you with the skills to unlock the mysteries of wild animal behavior by reading their marks on the landscape – sign that was previously invisible to you. You’ll be able to interpret animal sign and behavior that – to other people – are nothing more than obscure marks on the landscape.
