This class is designed to help you become a better naturalist by increasing your awareness of the world around you through improved use of all your senses. We will immerse ourselves in the landscape and participate in various guided exercises and games to strengthen our powers of observation through seeing, hearing, smelling, tasting, touching, and various other senses such as balance, direction, temperature, etc...

This will be very “hands-on” and experiential, so come prepared to get off the beaten path and enter into close contact with the wild elements. Many of the techniques we will be practicing are inspired by the guide books of Tom Brown Jr. founder of the Tracker Survival School and John Young author of Coyotes Guide to Connecting with Nature.
