This class will explore a range of habitats, tracks and various signs of local wildlife. Winter conditions offer unique opportunities for tracking and trailing animals whose movements might at other times go unnoticed by the casual observer. Traversing a diversity of landscapes, we will interpret the stories actively unfolding in our midst. Discover who is on the move, in search of food or shelter. Learn strategies animals employ in managing travel or bearing young at this time of year, and connect with your surroundings through the animal in you. Note: In the event of deep snow, snowshoes are recommended.
Rob Riman spent his youth roaming Lake Michigan’s upland ravines and paddling nearby headwaters of the Mississippi. Following studies in geology, and a decade leading remote expeditions across North America, from alpine heights to coastal backwaters, he went on to built traditional wooden boats with NYC youth, and pursued graduate work in architecture and sustainable design, leading to his co-founding of the local nonprofit Home Energy Efficiency Team (HEET). Today, he delights in his roles as naturalist and place-sourced educator, embracing landful living practices, while working to decolonize his own learning. Homeschool dad to two semi-feral children and avid forager, Rob resides along the former shoreline of the Quinobequin’s impounded estuary, on traditional territory of the Massachusett and Pawtucket people.
