Just because we don’t always spot them, we know the animals are around by the tracks and traces they leave behind. We will take a look at the different animal tracks you might find here in the park and the possible clues that might help you figure out what was walking about when you weren’t looking. At the end we'll make a plaster mold of an animal track you can take home as a keepsake.

Please meet at Green Hill Pond. All materials will be provided. Suitable for all ages.

For more information, please call (434) 942-3545 or email Tess.Himelspach@dcr.virginia.gov.
