Wildlife tracking hike in the Sonoma Valley

Join us for an engaging, curiosity-led morning of wildlife tracking at Bouverie Preserve with trail camera project manager, Kate Remsen. This hike and workshop is designed to welcome nature enthusiasts of all experience levels - no prior tracking knowledge needed. Whether you’re fascinated by wildlife, curious about trail cameras, or eager to learn how scientists study wildlife in their habitats, you’ll feel right at home.

Together, we’ll explore the preserve at an easy pace while learning to notice the subtle signs wildlife leave behind - tracks, scat, scrapes, markings, and movement through the landscape. Along the way, Kate will introduce participants to the fascinating world of trail cameras, sharing how they are used to monitor wildlife behavior, uncover hidden animal activity, and deepen our understanding of our wild neighbors.

Through stories, observation, and hands-on learning, we’ll discuss wildlife ecology, habitat use, and the important role predators, like mountain lions, play in maintaining healthy ecosystems. Participants will also gain insight into how tracking and camera data help researchers and land stewards better protect wildlife and preserve biodiversity.

Bring friends, family, and your questions. This is a supportive, no-pressure space to slow down, sharpen your awareness, and experience the landscape.
