During training, Pathways for Wildlife will guide us in building essential wildlife tracking skills, including:

• Identifying and documenting wildlife tracks

• Data gathering through photography, casting, and GPS

• Best practices for contributing observations to regional research

This is a hands-on way to contribute directly to conservation in the Sierra while gaining new skills in wildlife tracking and data collection.
