Wildlife Tracking with an Ecological Eye: One of Humanity’s First Sciences

In this webinar with local tracker Kyle Rodd, we'll learn some of the fundamentals of tracking - one of humanity's first sciences - as well as how to bring a landscape-level view to our own mammal tracking. This ecological and habitat-based approach will help streamline our tracking process and deepen our awareness of the natural relationships unfolding around us.

Kyle is both an outdoor and college educator, with decades of experience tracking the animal species of New England. While earning his Master's degree in Environmental Studies, Kyle focused on the tracks and sign of New England mammals, and how to understand their distribution throughout the landscape by looking through an ecological lens and focusing on habitat. Kyle has been an outdoor educator for a decade, leading trips throughout the woods and waters of central New England, and instructing students in tracking, primitive skills, climbing, paddling, caving, and more. Kyle also instructs at regional colleges and universities, most recently teaching a Mammalogy course in spring of 2020. Most importantly, Kyle is a husband and father of two amazing and adventurous daughters.
