Refuge Rocks for Kids: Saturday, February 15 at 10:00 a.m. Refuge Rocks - Scat Tracks & Signs.

The wild animals at Hagerman National Wildlife Refuge are rarely seen. So, how do we know they live here?

On Saturday, February 15, come out to the refuge to develop your tracking skills by examining and
interpreting the indirect evidence animals leave behind. We will be exploring scat and tracks. We’ll learn
how to get started identifying tracks, scat, and other animal signs when hiking on our trails. We’d love to
see what you find while exploring the outdoors today!

Studying what an animal leaves behind is a great way
to learn about the lifestyle and habits of local wildlife.
Let’s learn about scat, tracks, and signs with a short lesson, some fun games and activities, as well as a fun
craft!

Come join us on February 15 for a free class for youth ages 5-10.

Free and open to the public, registration is required at https://www.friendsofhagerman.com/event-6035394?CalendarViewType=1&SelectedDate=2/20/2025.

Donations are accepted to support this and other events and programs sponsored by the Friends of Hagerman NWR.
